What would you do if you were in Nella's shoes? We've done a lot of talking about her actions, motivations, and background, but now it's time to put ourselves in her place. In this episode of Podcasting Is the New Kink!, Nicole and I dive into the choices we would make, emphasizing the significance of pain and resilience in shaping who we are today.
We also give our predictions for a hypothetical season two, even though the series was cancelled after the first season, and we discuss the importance of having clear motivations for our protagonists, especially when they are hella messy. Great examples of messy but loveable protagonists show up in two of The Onyx Collective's other shows: "Queenie." and "Unprisoned." We compare the different worlds portrayed, the production value differences, and the relatability of the heroes in all three shows, with the protagonists from "Queenie," and "Unprisoned," being more likable than Nella, even though they were just as messy.
We talk:
Comparison to "Unprisoned" - 1:07
Predictions for the season we didn't get - 12:26
"What would YOU do?" questions - 25:09
This is the last episode of our series on "The Other Black Girl," novel and series, so I hope you have enjoyed our discussion. There will definitely be more. Stay tuned!
