Middle Age Pop Culture..Light Years Behind

I was listening to another podcast and they were talking about items hot in 2017 and I had no idea that Shea Moisture had been cancelled and who in the hamsandwich Megan Thee Stallion(corrected after a quick Google search, sheez are those butt injections?) was...but I find all of it fascinating even now, 2 years later.

On Valentine’s Day, Issa Rae (HBO’s Insecure, Little) and LaKeith Stanfield (FX's Atlanta, Sorry to Bother You) connect in a romance where a woman must learn from the secrets in her mother’s past if she is to move forward and allow herself to love and be loved. When famed photographer Christina Eames unexpectedly dies, she leaves her estranged daughter Mae Morton (Rae) hurt, angry and full of questions. When a photograph tucked away in a safe-deposit box is found, Mae finds herself on a journey delving into her mother’s early life and ignites a powerful, unexpected romance with a rising-star journalist, Michael Block (Stanfield). Produced by Will Packer and from writer-director Stella Meghie (The Weekend, Jean of the Joneses) from her original screenplay comes a sweeping love story about forgiveness and finding the courage to seek the truth, no matter where it may lead you.

I got into one or two fights with students who were disrespectful, but I never considered quitting. I made it known that you’re not going to run me away. You’re not going to scare me. I’m going to outstudy all of you, and I’m going to graduate.” UF Law students and faculty honored Allen’s legacy at a ceremony organized by the UF chapter of the Black Law Students Association, which bears Allen’s name.
