This week, we’re diving into She the People (recently retitled "Miss Governor"), Tyler Perry’s latest attempt at portraying Black women. And let’s just say — not all of us made it to the finish line.
One of us tapped out (no regrets), while the other powered through — mostly out of sheer curiosity and caffeine. We break down what almost worked, what absolutely didn’t, and why Perry’s heart might be in the right place, but his pen? Needs a writers' room. Urgently.
Expect laughs, side-eyes, and plenty of “now why would he do that?” as we unpack She the People — the good, the bad, and the Madea-adjacent.
🛑 Spoiler alert: This one’s for the people who love us, even when we’re petty.
