Is it ?

I will try to watch it now that I’ve read your piece . I’ve had little interest in it though I do remember when Issa started doing her thang on YouTube. My sister recommended the show to me; but , you see, she also recommended that I watch Lemonade — telling me it was damn near life -changing . And somehow , it didn’t change my life; and I lost , what , an hour ? while sitting waiting for tears and /or an epiphany that didn’t come .But I do like the song Hold Up and not for reasons with depth . I like it like I like Salt Shaker by the Yang Yang Twins .

Anyway, seeing Black faces doing nonstereotypical things on the screen is enough to instill a sense of pride without having to be a fan of the actual product . We can be critics or not without feeling like we are losing a piece of ourselves . Right?

    I am hurting like hell over the sudden, tragic loss of a Man who had given me so much Life in recent months.
