“195 Lewis” Is a Love Letter to Black, Queer Brooklyn

We Lost One of TV’s Most Important Lesbian Characters When “Survivor’s Remorse” Got Axed
The conversation of multi-dimensional black thought, and questions of isolation or not feeling “black enough”, is one that a lot black people are familiar with. It’s smart and nuanced.
