This used to be home

Two Nudes, 1939

This joyous episode happens to be airing amid another horrible moment of the dehumanization of black people. What do you hope black viewers specifically get from watching this at this time?

This episode is a reminder of what the struggle is for. To have an opportunity to portray people of color in this kind of beauty is really a privilege right now, because it’s an image of black love, and how we can be good to each other. It’s an honor to be able to offer a nuanced view of who we are.

Our show is a love letter to black people. My hope is that it is for at least a half-hour and for the people who have the privilege of tuning in, who still have breath in their bodies and the means to do so, they can have a reprieve from the hellscape that is going on right now.
