We have witnessed the character “Lucille Flenory” go from devoted and God fearing wife to a woman angered by betrayal — particularly from every man in her life. Bringing this character so much emotion and feeling, Michole Briana White offers a sense of realism that is needed in an honest portrayal of the Flenory Matriarch.

I sat down with Michole to find out how she tapped into the energy required for episode 9 of ‘BMF,’ when having to confront the other woman. Also she tells me what she wanted viewers to take away about the real life Lucille as a wife, mother and Black woman in 1980s Detroit.

Catch my interview below:

‘BMF’ is available to stream Friday at midnight on the Starz app and On Demand. The episodes air every Friday night at 8pm.
