Black media — Chocolate Girl's Life

So this post is about a day late and a dollar short. However, I just have to write a review about this. Last summer my good friend told me to watch The Misadventures of An Awkward Black Girl on Youtube. When I began watching it there were only about five episodes and though they were funny, I sort of forgot about it for a minute. So a few weeks ago, the season finale was posted on Youtube and my girlfriend was like hey, have you watched this yet. So this weekend I finished watching the season and let me just say I screamed with laughter. The show is like The Office, through a Black girls perspective and all of the strange and terrible things that happen to her on a day to day basis. Some of the best parts of the series are the hilarious raps and the constant references to Black film. The main character J raps, "niggas love me, I'm on my Kim K." LMAO. Her boyfriend dumps her because she cuts off all of her hair and tells her that he feels gay. (SMH) In the eight episode, the guy that she is interested in plays the guitar like Terrence Howard does in that scene from the Best Man. (YES JESUS)

Oh baby wipes how u make me laugh, and yet this is still sexy:)

Basically this is a must watch in you free time. All of the episode can be found on Youtube. Basically its just very awkward and very dope.

So if you don't know already, I'm obsessed with Black film and television its just kinda my ish :). So I don;t just like the stuff that goes mainstream, I like to get my hand on the more obscure stuff. So looking at my the Concrete Loop. I ran across this web series produced my Idris Elba (let's all take a moment and pause as we think of how beautiful the man is), anyway, Idris back this film company called brown paper dolls which was started by three black women from Chicago :). So so far their are only two ten minute episodes to the series. I watched both at the same time and overall I thought it was kind of dope. Since the episodes are so short, the first episode was kind of confusing for me but, after I finished the second episode I got a better grasp of what was going on. The series thus far is really about these black women just trying to navigate their way through life & love while following their dreams. I loved the act that these women were like women I've come across in my life. They had on flyy ass outfits, they were beautiful and I could relate to some of the things that they had to say. I would say if you have about twenty minutes to spare its definatly worth looking at. Debbie Allen is in it :)

Idris said: “I decided to get involved with Milk + Honey because of the strong demand for content that is relatable and authentic” states Elba about his involvement with the project, “Brown Paper Dolls has an intuitive way of displaying positive images of women throughout the series.”
