I don't find it that hard to believe. I see thousands of them on Tinder. especially in DMV and ATL. hard-working driven sistas with all the accolades in the world. Masters from good school, top performer at their jobs, ran marathons, well-traveled, etc. but haven't got a clue in the world on how to attract AND keep a man. social life when it comes to men is an absolute disaster. Think they deserve Idris elba but have nothing to offer but their degrees and accolades.
going for dudes that they know have no intentions of being serious with them and crying foul after. cycle continues until 35+ then all of a sudden it's "there's no good men out there. all the fine dudes don't act right. I worked hard I shouldn't have to settle, I know my worth, blah blah blah"
This statement is said by about 80% of college graduates. They don't realize that, sure, you worked hard, but if you're not working hard at the RIGHT things then it's not really doing you any good. But that's for a bigger discussion than this TV show.

the individual success on the career/education front gives them a sense of entitlement that carries over into relationships and it just doesn't work that way. they don't get that the accolades and degrees are great for them individually but doesn't automatically make you a great partner who deserves idris elba.

Amanda Diva looks unbiasedly better than all of them. And it ain't cause she's light skin. She just looks better. Tasha last season was the only one competing.


THIS

Appreciate you brother. It’s very humbling when anyone says they like the show. I really put my all into it. Please spread the word, anymand all comments and subscribers are very highly appreciated.

Check out what we got next coming up






Following its critically acclaimed first season, the series was nominated for two awards at the inaugural Minnesota Webfest for Best Drama and Best Representation Of Communities Of Color. In addition, the first season was also named an official selection of the 2017 Urban Mediamakers Film Festival.

“Having Blue Collar Hustle become a part of KweliTV’s rising star is both honoring and humbling,” Hawes previously said. “It has always been my intention to join with others as we rewrite the black American story. KweliTV is the perfect venue to do so.”

So what's the intention?


its okay to show all these black actresses making softcore porn, but the racially ambiguous Latina is put on the pedestal and is untouchable.

and no, those two white broads that we're prolly never gonna see on any show or channel ever again, do not count.
