I was just thinking to myself the other day about how, for all the talk about being a "new content model", Netflix/Amazon Prime have both been disappointingly traditional in regards to black representation in their original content. Outside of Orange Is The New Black (Prisoners/Criminals, the only time television seems to ever diversify), they are still making the same old white-centric shows.

Good for her. WHINING isn't the solution. Creating a NEW PLATFORM is.

Now...we people actually get behind her? And not just consumers...but people within the industry? That's when the shyt really starts taking off.

I don't think the sista realizes how powerful her own idea is (or maybe she does).

If this is successful this could be one of the biggest comeups in Black media in maybe 25 years.

Got my support.

Doing the 30 day.

Finding/funding shows/movies that span across genres is her next hurdle.
