Demi mourns the transition of Chadwick Boseman; gushes over HBO’s Lovecraft Country; plans a watch party for the inevitable train wreck interview with Andrew Gilllum— and his wife(!)— on “Tamron”, rethinks her support of Jacob Blake; celebrates Niecy Nash’s nuptials, and discusses all things hair with Image Activist Michaela Angela Davis, including Tracee Ellis Ross on the cover of the September 2020 Ellle, Megan Thee Stallion being shot, and the duty of light skinned Black people when they gain a seat at the table.

Also: arrest the cops who murdered #breonnataylor and #blacklives matter (even when Black people keep getting killed and shot.)
