New Web Series ‘First’ Produced by Issa Rae

I love black love, like and everything in between, so I appreciate First‘s intimate look at “the first date” for recently reconnected Robin and Charles.

The web series was the perfect addition to my Saturday night of RomComs, popcorn and hot toddies.

Episode 3 will be available on April 30.

J TV: Chris Brown On “This Is How I Made It”

On MTV’s most recent episode of This is How I Made It Chris Brown talks about his life growing up, when he got his big break and struggles he’s had to endure as he worked his way up in the music business. (iluvlola)

It’s not easy to produce a unique or interesting interview with big name celebrities because it often feels as if we’ve heard it all before.  Once a very vigilant Chris Brown fan, I was still surprised by some of the things he shared about his life path.  I love hearing how singers got their start and the thought process behind pivotal moments in their careers. It was definitely a good look for Chris too. I may need to start tuning into this show!

This Is How I Made It airs Saturdays on MTV at 12P. Find more information here.

J Video: Milk + Honey

Milk + Honey is a dramedy series that follows the spiritual, professional and romantic journeys of four young, ambitious African-American women navigating through the lights, smoke and mirrors of Hollywood.

Glad I checked it out. Editing seemed a little choppy, but I guess that’s how “webisodes” are. Jace (Charles Divins), is SO fine and of course Lance Gross. sigh lol Has potential.
