“Brown Girls” Shows Women of Color Coming of Age in a Way We Never Get to See on TV
Hollywood’s reluctance to tell the stories of brown girls has always been rooted in — well, racism; but more precisely— the myth that white stories are neutral and, as such, are more relatable to the broader audience. Brown Girls disproves that myth, creating an imminently relatable coming-of-age story.

Orange Is the New Black Episode 507 Review: Full Bush, Half Snickers
