Alicia bags a date at the chicken spot, and things pop off.

This season we recorded all of our stories over Skype, which allowed us reach people in places we wouldn't have been able to otherwise.

This story is produced by Rachel Jones and scored, mixed, and mastered by Miles Dotson.

About You Had Me at Black -
You Had Me at Black is a storytelling movement reclaiming the black narrative by passing the mic to regular people with a story to tell. We do so through a weekly, seasonal podcast and live storytelling events.

This show is 100% self-funded and volunteer-run. Our mission is big, and after five seasons, 70 stories and half a million downloads we've just scratched the surface. On March 13 we're launching a fundraising campaign to sustain and grow the show for seasons to come. Make a contribution today http://www.youhadmeatblack.com/100.

Rule the world. Tell your story -
Our mantra is, "those who tell stories rule the world." Visit youhadmeatblack.com/tellastory for an opportunity to tell yours on our show
