Today we’re watching SLANG IT LIKE YOU OWN IT (Letesa Bruce, 2007)! Synopsis: Shades of meaning challenge a Black lesbian from the suburbs in this laugh-out-loud comedy. Tired of mainstream media depicting Black folks as caricatures? Wish Jeopardy wasn’t just dry facts? (4/5)
Want to see slang (like all of Twitter) be honored as created by Black folks, and maybe learn a few new words from the past? Check out Slang It Like You Own It! Favorite quote: “Alright, Buffy. What does ‘that’s my boo’ mean?” “Boo? Oh my! Like a ghost?!” “No, suburbia!”. (5/5)
