This is the first of ya'll videos i watch will watch the rest but i would like to hear ya'll take on the inkwell
We'll put it on our list!
That's how you become a hater in the eyes of the person who you are trying to help
❤❤❤❤❤
1st... Graduating from the streets and dedicating your life to YOUR family is a bad thing. 2nd... being a mommy and wife is just a role to be played the real Lisa is a 304. Women like this is a menace to all her friendships and society in general.
Yes Mannie Fresh was the dj
Our group in high school was called: S.H.I.N.E H.A.R.D. It meant shaking haters is never hard. h*es always remember dimes 😂😂😂
My God.
My parents didn’t apologize for anything . Their way of apologizing was buying us food or acting super nice later after they felt they were wrong . Now with my kids I will apologize to my kids whenever I’m wrong ,even to my 7 year old because they have feelings and I don’t want to affect their mental health.
Thank you for this! Small changes make all the difference.
Apologies were few and far between. Unfortunately, I continued with that tradition until just a few years ago.
It's a process. You're already further along by realizing.
My father never needed to apologize to me growing up. But he did accuse my brother of doing something he didn't do and he apologized for it. Apologize to your kids when you know you're wrong. Be the example.
Absolutely!
My mom is the only one to apologize but my dad, nah. Never.
It be like that sometimes.
So glad I found this channel yall are dope! I super appreciate having yalls perspective on things.
Aye!! Thanks for the sub.
Your videos are very good and your editing skills are excellent, but your videos are not reaching many people. The main reason for this is that your videos are not SEO optimized. I am a UA-cam video SEO expert and would like to optimize your videos. "And I would like to help move forward with monetizing your UA-cam channel." ar you interested in this?
Glad you found us some how.
@@Stay_mentallydope Yes, I’m glad I came across your channel! Your content has great potential, and I’d love to help it reach more people through effective UA-cam SEO strategies. Optimizing your videos can make a big difference in attracting the right audience. Would you be open to discussing how we can improve your reach?"
HEAL HEAL HEAL 🙏🏾✊🏾🙏🏾✊🏾🙏🏾✊🏾
yes indeed!
I love how you ladies dive in and explore the technical tools needed to get the job done. I can't wait for more. So happy and excited for you both.
Thanks so much Deven!
Hello There! I hope you are well. I visited your UA-cam channel, and I have subscribed. Your content ideas are excellent. Thanks Farjana
Thank you!

Black therapists bringing empathy and knowledge/training to black issues is what we need more of in this world

Facts
I think it started on UPN then switched to CW. I really think the network had another name before CW
@@nikiajohnson186 I think so but I can’t remember.
The WB. Shows that came on UPN & The WB were carried over to CW.
@@chiguyinc.982 Yes! I was thinking of that frog. Thanks!
I loved Girlfriends when it originally aired. Honestly Joan always had a special place in my heart. I just wish she understood her worth and appreciated herself more.
@@donniep4837 absolutely. She would have not gotten into half the stuff she did.
How have you never gotten a creamsicle they are sooooo good

Loretta was one of the original "Dreamgirls" on Broadway in the early 1980s! Love her!
Really?? We didn't know that. She's so good.
I never even noticed that. That’s so true 😂
In my opinion, even though Eve strived for her parents' attention, particularly her father's, she had a close relationship with her sisyer and did look up to her, because it seemed like Cicely had it all figured out. But Cicely was too messed up to be a role model. But Mozelle, in truth was the main one who paid attention to Eve. Her and her husbands couldn't have children and they felt connected to Eve because she was either the odd one out, she looked like Mozelle more than her parents, or because of the psychic counseling they were both born with. Because Eve didn't even mention that particular detail to her parents. Lewis didn't believe in the psychic craft, but Rozlyn did and still never sensed that behavior in her own daughter, because her first born was actung out, her husband wasn't home and his mistress was calling the house. She didn't even question whether Eve foresaw his affair, or she just up and caught him. Cicely could tell at the end, and said nothing. That clearly showed there was no way she was going to lie to her again. If Lewis divorced-- as Cicely put it, "Us"-- she would have tried to go with him, but would stay with Roz. I agree with you on that part whete a truth teller gets all the crap thrown at them for being honest. I myself can relwte to that personal. Because back in those days, that's how it was done. Now a days, peopke are just looking for an excuse to act like fools at let cruel abuse run it's coarse. Roz was sock of the emotional,mental and verbal abuse she was receiving from Lewis and his mistress, whom she allowed in her house. But she was more upset about how Cicely treated her for it. And Eve, was catching on,and took her frustrations out on both of them. Apparently, to the lot of them Rozlyn's happiness didn't matter whether she wanted a divorce. Since she was a 1960s house wife and stay-at-home mother, she didn't have any life skills to take care of herself and that summer, she became a bit suicidal and Eve wayched her cut herself from frustration. Which brings me right to the financial abuse. He became a little codependent on Roz and she expected him to take care of her when they met and got married. She didn't have any experience but to be a wife, same as a lot if girls in those days. He became sure if himself, working with white people at a hospital and feeling good that people, particularly women deoend on him a lot to take care of him. His wife, his patients, Maddie, his daughters. He enjoyed that feeling too much to pay attention to how it affected the females in his family.his youngest girl, just wanted to be acknowledged, his oldest was falling in love, and his wife wanted to be respected and was conflicted on whether or not she should make him leave. He worked in the beginning so she wouldn't have to work as a maid or whatever so they can keep their land and their rich, civilized lives. His views were about them needing him so his ego could be boosted to a point he forgets everybody and focuses more on himself and needs them for that, despite the fact that he loves his family. Elzora told Roz a soldier falls on his own sword. Roz didn't pay well enough attention to that fortune until the funeral. She was focused on whether his behavior would drive on of the kids to their deaths. She didn't think it'd be the other way around, and he'd die. But Eve thought it was on her that he was shot. The fortune clearly stated it wasn't on her, or Roz, or even Cecily, who's lie put her sister in that path to want him dead, anyway. Leeis in the end, did that to himself. Because Maddie's husband was his friend. That was the price he paid. They all paid. In the end, Eve had Mozelle and Cicely as her rock and was fine with that
I enjoyed watching you guys tackle this film, that’s been so important to the culture. It really is a huge plot line to tackle, with so much nuance and texture and challenging themes throughout. Good job, y’all, at parsing through that. I feel like Charmaine spoke over Jasmine so much throughout the video, and that dynamic became tough for me to watch because I think what Jasmine had to say was just as valuable as what Charmaine had to say.
Thanks so much for your thorough feedback! We're both neuroscpicy and get really excited about the topics and so that is hard to contain. On our side it's less about value and more about excitement. I hope you take a look at our other videos and engage as well.
Yes!! They just want to keep everyone that likes them, even if they don’t like them, because it makes them look better and makes their ego bigger! Very selfish..
Thank definitely can happen.
This was a great episode especially talking about the attachments. Entertaining and informative. I recalling watching this morning multiple times at a child and felt Brandi was wrong. As a young woman I felt that but Brandi and Mia was crazy for dealing D. But at 35 almost 36 I felt Brandi wasn't healed. D was definitely a dawg and played himself cause multiple times he could have let Brandi be. I am sadden for Mia because she cared for D.but she was sucked up into his webs too.
Right. It seems to be more complicated as we get more perspective. Thanks for your comment!
This video way too low in the algorithm and views I had to scroll so far to find black women reactions.
We agree. Make sure people know about us!
Great video
Thank you!
Good conversation!
Thank you!
Oh they ain't playing the song...
lol No just reacting to the mental health themes. We should live react to something. 🤔
Ok I agree with ALL of these!
I’ve always connected with Justice on a level that runs much deeper than her nostalgic box braids and iconic wardrobe. Her overwhelming sense of abandonment and isolation resonates with my life completely. Not only that, but writing poetry is her one place of solace at a time when she is constantly misinterpreted and overlooked by others. Poetry is my life, and writing about my pain has often been my primary coping mechanism for several years now. I am so grateful for this classic film, I feel that it was written for women just like me. 🤎
Absolutely! You can always tell when something is written by us and for us. We love that the writers really saw black women and did not continue to demonize us. This is a great comment.
@@Stay_mentallydope Thank you!
I’d want to sit with Chicago in a session. I’m sure his past has made him place a lot of value in his appearance and finances. Converting his response to hurt and disappointment would do him a world of good.
We agree. We hate that Black men have not had the luxury of doing this work. That was all that was missing.
Hood trauma is real… lucky’s response to finding out his friends were about to murder someone tells it all.
Yep. You're absolutely spot on.
Gotta mention that lucky had a reason to not trust women too. His baby mama could of made him bitter too. Chicago had a lot of insecurities but seemed to actually like her he even defended her from lucky talking trash. Once Chicago’s pride was hurt he lashed out. Esha seem to genuinely feel remorse for hurting Justice feelings. If you look at Justice in the beginning of the movie you can tell were her and esha friendship started. Lucky saying if he wouldn’t have stopped so much his cousin may have made it could be true but it was no one’s fault, things happen.
You make some really good points and we agree with them all. We could have highlighted more the relationship with Lucky and his child’s mom and how that could have also possibly affected him or why Chicago acted the way he did. Thanks so much for watching and engaging!
Can I be apart of the group too?❤
Absolutely! We are ALWAYS accepting applications for background dancers.
@@Stay_mentallydope ok ok thats good cause I have zero singing abilities
Why would he write her a letter when she's around all the time? He convieniently wrote her a letter instead of telling her this face to face, knowing she was the only person who could discern the truth and see thru him just like Eve, who was just like her. Also, Eve has the same gift of seeing and she would've been furious at Cicilly for lying and making her despise their father. Instead she embraced her and was there to comfort her.
This is a good point! We didn't think about that. Sometime people write letters to be able to communicate without excessive emotion. Maybe that was his motivation as well.
👏👏👏
Thank you!
The most thought provoking break down Eva! I KNOW robin was a lil slow though!😂😂❤
thank you! and LOL @ Robin
Bull crap! Not surprised folks ignore your message. SHAME. Narrow-minded; & ur both actually promoting racism & a negetive stereotype. What ure saying mirrors what white racists would tell their kids. Im an old sista Hapilly married for 35 yrs to a Swiss-German. He's my blessing. We always had friends & friendly neighbors. My 30 yr old son has the best of both worlds! More than 50% of his friends are black & he has dated both & other races. Now engaged to a black American. This is 2024, not the 60s. You honestly sound like racists. Sad... Chances are your own kids may date or even marry whites bcos they are now exposed to more diversity, traveling & graining higher education. Prepare to deal with it. By the way divorce rate among blacks...? That's another sad chapter. ❤️ has no color....
Thanks for your comment and engaging with us. We hope you feel differently when you watch the video in its entirety. Taking any content out of context will ensure it’s misunderstood.
Thats soo funny, I was shole thinking that lil boy is Jurnee’s real brother 😂
He is! They look much alike.
Yes he is.
Great discussion! Yall could've done more research but it's fine.
Thank you for your feedback!! What areas did you feel like we could have done better with research? We would love the insight!
Simple movie stuff like knowing who played Poe lol and more on how the family being creole and living in louisiana influences the film @@Stay_mentallydope
Watching from Nairobi Kenya ❤❤❤❤
Heyyyy!
Jasmine: The beef probably has to do with history/ancestry. We don’t know who/where Moe’s gift comes from or if she had to do anything to get the gift. Moe was more of a medium and “the witch lady” was more of a “root” woman. If that makes sense. Or maybe the classic “you think your gift makes you better than”.
I don't know half of what those words mean. But I like your perspective. Picasso.
Was Uncle Pete at the funeral? Did anybody attempt to tell him anything about his sister's illness & death before Max sees him in the dining room?
These are great questions! We were wondering the same thing like no one ever talked to him? told him his sister died? or nothing?
I appreciate yall speaking on this movie. Such a cultural gem. ❤ Mama Joe's treatment of her daughters definitely exacerbated their issues. One thing I realized as an adult is that Miles wrote the song that his group sings, about Teri! He's literally asking her for this connection & she just can't give it. "Girl, I care about you, I'm there for you so why don't care for me like I care about you."
Wow! didn't even think about that!!
Did the guys ever apologize to Eva? They pulled off all this crap & wronged her but we never see them really apologize to her.
They sure didn't!
Very thoughtful breakdown of what to really consider when looking at trauma. I hope this inspires someone who needs to hear who may be going through similar experiences. May they always be encouraged!
We hope so too. Thanks for your feedback. We love to hear it.
Y'all seem very forgiving for bad behavior for women, but have less empathy and grace for the men like most black women I have seen do these types of reactions. When men do these types of breakdowns they seem a lot more unbiased.
No one is without bias. We appreciate your comment!
