A much-needed conversation about colorism, a major issue within many communities -- particularly the Black community.
Two Weeks

A college therapist who moonlights as a ride-sharing app driver meets a too turnt lesbian couple with too much tea (and other things!) to spill in the car.
Grist
Hannah ends a three-year on-again/off-again "situationship" with Roman due to irreconcilable world views that have potentially serious ramifications. But it wasn't all a wash.
Hacking the New Jim Code
Can Afrofuturism pave the way for a society free of biased technology? A discussion of the legacies of slavery and underrepresentation envisions an Afrofuturist world where technology is community-driven rather than profit-driven.
I Am a Man
Four Black men from different worlds have a heartfelt conversation about manhood, creativity, sex and their place in the world.
Ode To Joy: An Introduction
An intimate paean to Mother Earth and to Black women’s generativity.
Pressed
When a socially awkward young woman gets the date of her dreams, she finds herself under pressure to change her looks.
Satisfaction
An embarrassing incident forces a woman to choose between sheltering her surprise witness and finding her sexual voice.
