There is no writing team, it's all me. I also wrote the promo tags which will begin premiering soon and I am currently working on the treatment for the official trailer.
My motivation for the series was that I was tired of seeing black men portrayed in television and film as unemployed man-children who somehow make it to their late 20's-early 30's before it dawns on them that they have to be productive in life. I also wanted to explore what I feel are the untapped stories of those of us within the black community who sacrifice the more creative aspects of our personalities to fit within the preconceived notion of what it means to be "progressive" as member of black society. A sizeable portion of young black people I know who are lawyers, businessmen, doctors, etc. have felt as if they have been pushed into these professions to maintain the status quo of "The Talented Tenth", while they personally yearn to try something more creative. However there is a real stigma attached to the "there needs to be more doctors/teachers/engineer as opposed to Rappers/actors/singers" way of thinking. I want to explore what it feels like to slowly. Real free of these mental chains, while simultaneously expressing themes of love, support, pride, and learning amongst young black people.
As far what I want to get out of it. Honestly man all I want is to tell a dope story that black people will like and support. I really want to finish the entire first season of 6 episodes and get enough support to where I can do a second season.
