Single Black Female was a massive ratings success on Lifetime when it debut. In this episode, I share my thoughts on the film and Black actors in thrillers. 

This is a chat about actress, Jessica Chastain and why I am a fan of hers'. Her Oscar win provoked me to talk about her allyship with the LGBTQ community and how looking out for other actresses makes her one of a kind. 

In this video I misspoke by stating that the film Chastain and Spencer worked on together was The Shape Of Water. It was not disclosed in the article which film Chastain negotiated a higher salary for. I apologize for the inaccurate information.

In this video, I discuss her salary negotiation for actress, Octavia Spencer and statistics on suicide in the United States. Here are the links to sources I referred to:

A reluctant president did his best to negate efforts to turn Yale University into a coed institution. This is a chat about Yale becoming coed, begrudgingly, in 1969 to follow the direction American society was moving in. My thoughts are based on the book, Yale Needs Women by Anne Gardiner Perkins.

Actress Pamela Anderson and rocker Tommy Lee are at the center of the sextape scandal portrayed in the Hulu limited series. Showrunner Robert Siegel and the leading stars: Lilly James and Sebastian Stan, attempts to get the former Baywatch star's perspective were ignored. This is my take on the limited series.

This is the original article, from Rolling Stones magazine, that the limited series is based on.
