In conjunction with other cities around the world, we are hosting a free screening of Brown Girls, a new webseries exploring the lives of two young women of color. Leila is a South Asian American writer just now owning her queerness. Patricia is a sex-positive Black American musician who is struggling to commit to anything: job, art, or relationships. While the two women come from different backgrounds, their friendship is ultimately what they lean on to get through the messiness of their mid-twenties. Written by Fatimah Asghar, directed and produced by Sam Bailey, this series is presented by OpenTV.
Nicole Homer and Brittany Williams (Black Nerd Problems) will host and the program will feature performances by Jenn Mundia, Ashni, and more.
Rating: While there is no minimum age of entry, the webseries includes discussions about sex and sexuality, and brief nudity. Viewer discretion is advised.
