I’m glad MVJ is leading this project. She was a writer on B&B during some of the most offensive, one-dimensional storytelling about Black characters the genre has ever seen. Who knows if she complained about an impotent Eric whoring Quinn out to Carter, for example? But, obviously, if she did, Bradley could (and did) overrule her. It’s one thing to have Black writers in the room but if they’re not empowered, it’s all for nothing.
The NAACP involvement could be a blessing or a curse. Black folks aren’t a monolithic group who all share the same experiences. I don’t want to see storytelling hemmed in by respectability politics (or the unsubtle, repetitive Black trauma porn that’s become so commonplace in recent years) nor do I want the stereotypes that Tyler Perry and his ilk trot out. The burden of representation is real.

R.I.P. to Emmy, Oscar and Golden Globe winning actor Louis Gossett Jr.
Aw. And his cousin is Robert Gossett, a.k.a. Marshall Ashford on GH.
He’s such a bold, politically incorrect presence in An Officer and a Gentleman. He’s been in so much that it’s hard to know where to start.
He beat some heavy hitters that year. He looked so nervous:
Farewell to the incredible Louis Gossett Jr., the first Black man to win the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor. What a remarkable performance he gave in An Officer and a Gentleman, and what a legacy this great actor has left us.pic.twitter.com/HWbPUeSauR
