This week, we’re talking all things ‘The Drama,’ and ‘You, Me, and Tuscany.’ For different reasons, both of these films, starring beloved Black women, have taken over the conversations we’re having on social and in our own circles. What do these new-age black rom-coms say about how we currently look at love and relationships? And who gets to tell those stories? We get into all of that and more in today’s episode. The conversation does contain spoilers.

But first, we are desperately in need of an emergency pop culture check-in. Dr. Joy weighs in with her thoughts on the Meg & Klay breakup, lessons from the Michael movie, and the Summer House goings-on.

For this episode of TBG U, council member Mikayla Weary, who’s been dreaming of a career in storytelling and documentary work connects with someone who’s already blazing that trail—filmmaker Taylor Hosking. In their conversation, Mikayla and Taylor explore what it really looks like to build a creative career from the ground up, how Taylor found her voice as a filmmaker, and the behind‑the‑scenes realities of working in documentary film. They also talk about navigating identity, community, and purpose while pursuing a path that isn’t always linear.
