'83 To Infinity

Episode #2 of the Milk + Honey web series is here! Only 8 minutes long, so sneak a peek on your lunch break or whenever the boss ain’t lookin’

My favourite parts:

• yummy, YUMMY Bryce Wilson! A crush of mine since Groove Theory days
• the introduction of Farrah – I think she’ll be a trouble maker…
• Nia and Will’s too-cute kissing scene
• Harper spelling out her resume and then getting put in her place…I think she needed that
• the “Why Are You The Ish?” exercise in Eva Monroe’s acting class – this scene really hit me!

I wish we got a bit more of Farrah’s story and what she’ll bring to the group. Also, some of the scenes are a bit disjointed for me – like, when did Harper and Jonathan start swapping spit? Was that real life or Harper’s imagination running wild? Didn’t make sense to me. However, I’m loving the look and feel of the series…the opening credit montage with the girls…and Nia is still my fave character!

It seems like since we’re not getting a diverse representation of Black women on the small screen, ladies are hitting up the web and doing it for themselves!

I’m already addicted to The Misadventures of Awkward Black Girl, and I’ve started to look for other web series that provide a view of Black women that I can identify with. Well, I’ve found another one. It’s only one episode in, but I’m already excited for more! Allow me to introduce you to Milk + Honey.

Milk + Honey is described as:

“a dramedy series that follows the spiritual, professional and romantic journeys of four young, ambitious African-American women navigating through the lights, smoke and mirrors of Hollywood.”

The brainchild of production company Brown Paper Dolls, Milk + Honey has been blessed with some serious Black star power. Executive produced by Idris Elba, starring Lance Gross, Bryce Wilson, AND Debbie Allan? You can’t go wrong with that! Plus, the 3 leading ladies we’ve met so far (Asha Kamali, Yaani King, and Shauntay Hinton) are beautiful and have great chemistry. I can see parts of me in all 3, but especially Asha’s character Nia. We’ll see what happens with the fourth (Fuane Chambers’ character Farrah, perhaps?) is added to the mix.

There’s a lot of potential in this web series, so I can’t wait to see how things play out! Here’s episode 1:
