An OWN Series On “Black Love” (Series Trailer)
August 24, 2017
The good, the bad, and the married. Ha! That’s a flip of an iconic tagline if I ever read one. I’m sure couples in this new OWN series will admit to and give advice on the good and bad of long-term relationships and marriage, too. Check out the series trailer for OWN’s new docu-series, Black Love.
Black Love brings you the first-hand accounts of love from every-day couples and a star-studded line up featuring Viola Davis, Tia Mowry & Cory, Meagan Good & DeVon Franklin, Flex Alexander & Shanice, Warryn Campbell & Erica Campbell and more. Don’t miss the premiere, Tuesday, Aug. 29th at 10/9c.

4 Little Girls: Spike Lee Speaks On The Heart-Wrenching Decision He Had To Make (Video)
February 26, 2016
Another must-see before the focus on Black History for 2016 is lost…“4 Black Girls” (a real gut punch; but you still MUST watch). It will be hard to watch. Let Spike tell you (as he tells Oprah, above): It was hard to make.
In 1997, Spike Lee released “4 Little Girls,” a moving documentary about the 16th Street Baptist Church bombing in Birmingham, Alabama, which killed four African-American girls. The film went on to earn an Oscar nomination for best documentary. Watch as Spike discusses one of the most difficult decisions he’s ever made as a director and how the birth of his daughter, Satchel, changed his perspective.
You can see a trailer for the actual documentary here.

Dark Girls: White Men Discuss Their Attraction To Black Women (Video)
June 18, 2013
“You’re not more ethnic if you’re darker…” – Taken from OWN’s ‘Dark Girls’ Series Premiere
Does it take a White man to tell Black folk what we should have been saying to each other for decades? Perhaps so.
‘In Dark Girls, Hip-Hop author and journalist Soren Baker, a white man who’s married to an African-American woman, describes his early attraction to women of all races—and shares his father’s reaction. Plus, another man in an interracial relationship discusses his wife’s skin tone.’
– OWN
‘Dark Girls’ premieres this Sunday, June 23, on OWN, at 10/9 PM CST. This ought to be good. Oprah might just have as many fellas watching this show on her network.
