Iconic Black Women from TV Sitcoms (ft. Nakeisha Campbell)
What’s happening? As we reminisce about the golden age of television that raised us, we think about all the funny women from black TV sitcoms who created show-stoppable female characters, memorable moments, and instantly quotable dialogue. With help from graphic designer and assistant editor of news and entertainment at PureWow Nakeisha Campbell, we take a closer look at some of our favorite entertaining ladies. What makes these female characters so watchable and ground-breaking? Which sitcom characters paved the way for the storylines and characters we see today? With Nakeisha’s help we answer these questions, decide which female characters we would actually be friends with in real life, and agree that today’s tv theme songs can’t come close to the classic jams that introduced 90’s black tv sitcoms.
Making our hearts go “Ooooooohhhhhhh, I’m teeeelllin’!” this week: Synclaire James (Kim Coles) of Living Single, Gina Waters (Tisha Campbell) of Martin, and Dee Thomas (Danielle Spencer) of What’s Happening!!
This week’s small business shout-out: Semicolon Books (Chicago)
