The purpose of this thread is to keep track of the number of Y/A projects that don’t have a black actress as a lead. Will be updating as we get more casting news. #Wherearetheblackgirls

- Cast full of unknowns, budget $5 and a dream, and pure fan love. That first season was something special.this was the first show that truly made me understand the importance of binge watching
- Raven’s physical comedy needs to be studied by the future generation of actors.
- I think celebrities who dislike social media due to its toxicity should start blogging. A way to connect with fans without having to see interactions/comments. Plus we are in a literacy crisis so we need to get people to read. I think Zendaya would be a great blogger.
- Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules had no business being that good. They don’t make movies like this anymore.
- Disney is not promoting this show like they should. Marsai Martin is an executive producer for Saturdays. It’s a coming of age comedy about a 14 year old girl who loves to skate with her friends. You can stream Saturdays on Disney+.
- Not everyone is gonna win an Emmy or an Oscar. We need fun awards back! Future teen dramas walking away with nothing doesn’t sound right.
- Netflix- cancels too many shows Apple TV+- can’t lift a finger to promote HBO Max/Max- hates teen dramas Hulu- why are you raising the price again? Prime- I can’t put my finger on my issue with you. Disney+ l- one show has made it to 4 seasons.
GIF - When the writing for a black female character is strong. She’s not a token, she’s loved and she’s the best character in the series.
- I do think young actors are getting cheated out of certain experiences such as multi cam comedies and teen soap opera shows. As ridiculous as Riverdale was, what Charles Melton said about the show being his Juilliard really stuck with me.
- Marsai Martin tells Keke Palmer why she thinks Saturdays was removed from Disney Plus. In the interview she gets emotional talking about the show. The industry is not easy, especially for Black girls. #Wherearetheblackgirls
