Forever, For Always, For Black Love (ft. Tessa Thompson and Nnamdi Asomugha)

Episode notes

Amazon Video

This week, Jarrett Hill and Tre’vell Anderson talk Black love on screen with “Silvie’s Love” stars Tessa Thompson and Nnamdi Asomugha.

What are your favorite representations of Black love on the large and small screen? Do those characters and stories fully encompass all that is contained in black love or does the media fall short of showcasing the variety of ways we express love within the Black community?

We’ll get into all of that…

But first…

It’s T-Time and Jarrett has a topic up for discussion all about body image, mental health and self care.

About the show

Sometimes the people, places, and things we love don’t love us back. We’re fans, but we also have some ANTI- feelings toward them. Every week on FANTI, journalists Tre’vell Anderson and jarrett hill bring their pop culture and political expertise to things we must stan and stand up against. FANTI is a place where nuance reigns supreme with energetic, complicated, and sometimes difficult conversations that bring deep knowledge and thoughtful perspective to the things we love and rage about, from the White House to the Real House(wives).
