Dr. Miyabe Shields, Ph.D., who prefers they/them pronouns, joins this episode of the Blunt Blowin' Mama podcast to get into the science behind our favorite plant: cannabis! Miyabe is a pharmaceutical scientist who specializes in the molecules in cannabis and the system in the brain and body that are activated by them.
Some questions Miyabe answers (because the more we know!) in their conversation Shonitria: Why is it that some people don't get high after ingesting edibles? Does smoking weed harm our brains and "fry" our brain cells? In what ways can cannabis help neurodivergent people? What does science say about using cannabis as a mom? And what's the cleanest way to ingest cannabis... edibles, tinctures, dry herb vaping, dabbing, joints, etc?
It's always wonderful to chat about cannabis with a scientist who studies the plant to help us understand the plant even more. Grab your weed, boo, spark up and enjoy this enlightening chat with Dr. Miyabe! Follow Miyabe on Instagram: @miyabephd Follow Blunt Blowin' Mama on Instagram: @bluntblowinmama

Sahra is a mom who smokes weed and founded the popular Isankofa Skin Care, where she creates affordable small-batch skin care products with all-natural ingredients. She believes everyone deserves to access quality skin products without the hefty price tag. Sahra joins the Blunt Blowin' Mama podcast to discuss how cannabis helps her as a mom and business owner. She comes from a family where weed was normal, as her Rasta father was a regular cannabis consumer who sometimes would give her cannabis tea as a child for ailments. Her father normalized cannabis as medicine to her, and she takes the same approach now that she's a mom.
Shonitria has been a long-time fan of Isankofa's zinc deodorant (it's natural, organic, and there's no added fragrance — perfect for sensitive skin!), natural gold face serum, and herbal face toner. There's something for everyone; the best part is that you won't hurt your wallet! To celebrate the podcast episode, Isankofa is offering up to 20% off sitewide. So don't walk; run to stock up or discover your new skincare faves, too :).

You're not a bad mom for smoking weed, and you're not alone. Moms who smoke weed are not bad moms.
This 420 episode of the Blunt Blowin' Mama podcast is sponsored by The Travel Agency -- Shonitria's fave legal NYC dispensary. Arana joins this episode to chat about what it's like being a cannamom working in the legal weed industry.

Arana says she never felt the stigma on weed until she started working in the industry. She's the president and co-founder of The Travel Agency, a BIPOC-founded company that believes legal cannabis has the power to repair the damage caused by the war on drugs.
The Travel Agency is a purpose-driven business, with the brand new Downtown Brooklyn store owned by those who have experienced cannabis-related injustices and their Union Square dispensary directing over half of the profits to The Doe Fund. The Manhattan mama says it took a while for her to figure out how to talk to the parents at her kids' school about what she does for a living. But she says she realized she should have no shame or feel a need to qualify her cannabis profession because weed has never harmed or killed anyone, unlike alcohol.
Arana also shares how cannabis has been a useful tool in her marriage and a way she even bonds with her mom! Plus, Arana teaches us how to know if the weed you're buying in the newly legal state of New York is counterfeit or not -- she also details the dangers of vaping and what to look out for when buying vape carts. This is such a good episode -- happy 420, y'all!

Being a mom who smokes weed is honestly something I am very proud of because I know I am a great mom and it's mostly because cannabis is part of my self-care routine. However, cannabis is still federally illegal and very misunderstood due to the lack of education on the plant. Most people still consider weed a drug and those who partake in it drug addicts. So imagine what these naysayers call moms who smoke weed? It's hardly kind.

I'm no stranger to dealing with haters and the uninformed who believe in the stigma around weed. I often get asked: How do I deal with haters and those who want to label me a bad mom for smoking weed? On this episode, I lay out exactly how to handle someone who wants to judge, shame and bad mouth moms who smoke weed and what to do if someone tries to come for you because you're a cannamom. Normalization of weed will soon come but in the meantime, here's how to navigate people in your life who just don't understand how weed is plant medicine that does way more good than harm.

On this week's episode of Blunt Blowin' Mama, we are running back a conversation where we analyze a study on cannabis use in pregnancy that was published by the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America (PNAS) on Nov. 15, 2021. This study claims that cannabis use in pregnancy causes higher levels of cortisol in the children born, resulting in more instances of anxiety, stress, and depression.
Here's the study: https://www.pnas.org/doi/abs/10.1073/pnas.2106115118
Now, you know we tried to go straight to the source and we reached out to the study's author, Yasmin Hurd, but got no response. So we brought on our own medical experts to unpack the study's findings and provide real, transparent, and unbiased insights from two board-certified registered nurses, Kait Boettcher and Adjuan Edgerson. We asked each nurse a variety of questions about the study, and they broke down what this study's findings really mean for pregnant mamas using cannabis. The nurses also provide advice for expectant mothers who want to use cannabis for medical reasons.
This episode is so informative and really teaches us that we hold the power to educate ourselves on the effects of cannabis -- especially when it comes to its use during pregnancy.

This episode is for you, and I didn't hold back in this LIVE "Ask My Anything" conversation I had on Blunt Blowin' Mama's Instagram account. Listen, when I told y'all anything, you truly took it to heart and brought me questions on cannabis use during pregnancy, favorite products, and way more motherhood and cannabis questions. You just gotta tap in to see if I answered YOUR question -- should I do this again? I haven't done one of these episodes in years so maybe it's time to bring it back.

I breastfed both of my kids. But I only used cannabis while breastfeeding one of them. Not too surprisingly, my second born (my cannababy) was the kid I used cannabis while breastfeeding and he's the one I ended up breastfeeding the longest -- 25 months to be exact. I know it's no coincidence either because without cannabis I would have given up and thrown in the towel way sooner because breastfeeding is not easy -- neither is weaning. Well, that's what I thought until I started intentionally using cannabis postpartum and realizing along the way how helpful weed could really be for a breastfeeding mama. This is a highly requested topic and I am finally giving y'all all the information on why I used cannabis during breastfeeding, how I weaned both my kids, and how cannabis helped with not only my breastfeeding journey but weaning, too.
Learn more about breastfeeding and using cannabis by watching my informative workshop on it, the BBM Self-Guided Breastfeeding And Cannabis Workshop where I speak with lactation consultant Evonne Smith, Dr. Oga Obie, cannamom advocate and children's book author MsKindess Ramirez, and Jessica "The Mommy Jane." Our over 120-minute conversation is full of tips, tricks, advice and our own accounts on how weed is beneficial for the breastfeeding parent along with the most harm-reductive ways to consume it with a baby in the home.

I used cannabis during my pregnancy with my second child and I firmly believe it was the best decision I ever could have made for myself and baby. I enjoyed my pregnancy, I was emotionally well and physically cared for with the help of cannabis. Now, I want to make sure other parents know that cannabis is an option for pregnancy, too. Listen, I know that pregnancy can be very challenging physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. In my opinion, cannabis eases those challenges and allows me to just enjoy the blessing that is pregnancy -- bask in the experience as my body works a true miracle. It's so hard to be present for that miracle when navigating the many curveballs pregnancy can throw your way. So, after many requests from y'all, I put together this episode as a resource and needed guidance for anyone who is considering using cannabis during pregnancy and doesn't know where to start.
This episode is a comprehensive breakdown of the best forms of cannabis you can incorporate into your life and my fave products for expecting mamas. Honestly, I should've done this episode sooner and I wish I had a resource like this for myself when I was pregnant with my first kid in 2015. But it's here now and I am so happy to provide it for you. Don't forget to tap into the products mentioned in the episode listed below.

Our favorite OBGYN is back on the Blunt Blowin' Mama podcast! Dr. Genester Wilson-King is chatting with Shonitria about cannabis for menstrual cramps and dysmenorrhea, which are severe debilitating cramps. The doctor talks about using Aima's CBD-CBG suppositories, which is a THC-free water-based product for pelvic pain and menstrual cramps that is inserted vaginally for direct pain relief without any psychoactive or "high" effects.
And can a doctor drug test a pregnant patient without your permission? Dr. Wilson-King answers this question for us!
Does weed harm fertility, and should you stop smoking weed if you're trying to get pregnant? The doctor shares some advice!
Dr. Wilson-King provides helpful insight into how patients can handle encounters with rude or judge-y physicians and medical professionals.
She also lays out very clearly the best approach to drug testing at hospitals and if it's really possible to detox cannabinoids from the system before birth.

Happy New Year!!! Wow, it's 2024 :). But first let me (finally lol) tell you about my solo summer "Eat Pray Love" European vacation. I know I have been promising this episode for a while and now I spill every detail about my life-changing trip.
I had the most magical night in Marseille, France, on magic mushrooms... I spare no detail about how that night unfolded. I stayed up almost all night on shrooms as I listened to music and became reaccquianted with myself -- it's an evening I'll never forget.
And can you believe that when I went to Paris, I smoked weed in a club, got hella paranoid that people knew and left! Phew chile... so many stories I share with y'all in this episode. This trip was my first time travelling solo and honestly, it was just what my soul needed. Being a mom and having been in a relationship for over a decade, I had no idea how much I needed to get away from EVERY THING and EVERY ONE until I actually did it. I hope I inspire you to go do the thing that fills your cup up, too because you're worth it.

Sabrina is the California mom of two behind the popular Instagram account @Wholetmebeamom where she shares what it's like being a Latina cannamom married to her best friend. She joins the podcast to get real on her life as a stay at home mom who smokes weed. The cannamom influencer also reveals that she's been smoking weed since she was a teen, so it's always been part of her life. She also shares that her dad smoked weed (and sold it -- he was kinda big deal). His openness about his smoking cannabis gave her confidence to know that good parents can smoke weed. We also get into what it's like being married to a man who doesn't smoke weed -- spoiler alert: it's great, Sabrina says there's more weed for her! We also chat about weed's role during her postpartum healing and spark up for a lil sesh, too. Roll up and enjoy :).

I am happy to say that the Blunt Blowin' Mama podcast is back and will be back each week from here on out. No more breaks. No more interruptions. Before I jump into other topics and share episodes with upcoming guests, I wanted to talk with you one-on-one to let you know what I've been up to. It's been so long since I've recorded a solo episode of the podcast (like maybe a... year?) so that's a lot of tea to spill. From my move out of LA over the summer (yeah, I am revealing where I am living now) to my decision to end my relationship, I am not holding back on this episode.

Susie Plascencia is the co-founder of Mota Glass and Humo, a cannabis flower brand. The Latina entrepreneur details how she started her brands with a simple mission: Elevate people of color's voices and create more opportunities in the cannabis business for BIWOC. She wants to pave the way for more Latinos to enter the cannabis industry in the hopes of also breaking the stigmas around the plant in her community so that people of color are not left behind as this billion-dollar industry expands and goes mainstream. Oh and get to hear Shonitria's take on how a Mota Glass bong rips as she breaks one Susie gifted to her in live on the podcast. We also talk about why she decided to sell flower and name the brand Humo. She also schools us on why it's not cool to use the word "marijuana" due to its tie to the racist War on Drugs.

It's May, and we are honoring mamas all month long on the Blunt Blowin' Mama podcast! If you have questions about cannabis use for motherhood or you just want an OB-GYN's thoughts on weed, this episode is for you. We are kicking off the month with a conversation about all the ways cannabis can help ladies be well from our menstrual cycle to pregnancy to menopause, we cover all the bases in this episode with Genester Wilson-King, MD, FACOG, who is a Board-Certified Obstetrician and Gynecologist with over 20 years of clinical experience providing compassionate and research-driven care to patients. It's so important to have board-certified medical professionals to share their insights on using cannabis and how to approach other doctors about it. Dr. Wilson-King founded the Victory Rejuvenation Center (VRC), a private holistic and integrative wellness medicine practice that provides life-transforming management modalities and customized medicines to patients.
She is also the vice president of the Society of Cannabis Clinicians, a non-profit that works to empower and educate healthcare providers on the use of cannabis medicine. As a member of the Special Advisory Board for ACHEM (Association for Cannabis Health Equity and Medicine), an organization focused on helping the BIPOC community in multiple areas of the cannabis movement. And finally, on the Board of Directors of Doctors for Cannabis Regulation (DFCR), the first and only national physicians’ association dedicated to the legalization and regulation of cannabis for adults. Plus, Dr. Wilson-King is a mom with adult children that she says still like coming around her which she says likely means she did a good job :).
Broderick Hunter joins the Blunt Blowin' Mama podcast to share how cannabis helps him live a well life. One of the ways he does this: Placing crystals in his weed container alongside his herb. He says the crystals bring good vibes to his herb, enhancing his intentions whenever he has consumes the plant. We also discuss how he came to therapy as an adult and the importance of taking time to self care for himself as a Black man.

Let's start with this: No one should be in jail for weed. It's 420 and it's only appropriate for Evelyn LaChapelle to be a guest on the podcast. Evelyn is a mom, cannabis advocate and business owner. She is also very open about her experiences within the legal justice system after being sentenced to 87 months in federal prison for depositing cannabis funds into a bank account. The California mom spent five years in the North Carolina prison across the country from her friends, family and her young daughter. She details the nuances of her release from prison that many people may be unaware of, like how she entered a drug rehab program in exchange for time off her sentence. It was in this program that she had to introduce herself as someone who was "addicted" to marijuana. While we all celebrate the plant each year on April 20, it's also important to take a moment to remember that this same plant was weaponzied against Black and brown people for years and the effects can still be felt today. Evelyn shares how she had to watch cannabis go legal in her home state and numerous other states across the country while she served time for it. We also get into how she and her daughter handled her incarceration -- which she admits was tough for them both, including her own mother who would fly across the county just so she could visit with her for 30 minutes. Depsite it all, Evelyn was able to turn her anger, frustration and passion into her business venture, 87 months and The Weed Lady. Follow Evelyn on Instagram @87months

Shrooms have been such a huge part of my healing. This is not the first time I have made this declaration because it's true for me. Not only did tripping on shrooms help me heal and learn more about me but I really think it helped me see that my relationship with weed as not a good one. I was smoking weed to go to sleep at night, I smoked weed to wake up in the morning, and I smoked weed before engaging with my kids and everything inbetween. Weed wasn't a tool in my wellness tool kit, it had become a crutch the I depended on to function. I talk more about this on this episode of the Blunt Blowin' Mama podcast and I don't think I am the only person with this experience. I have now healed my relationship with herb and I'm sharing all this because I know I'm not the only one who has been there.
Questions I get asked often: What about when the kids grow up, how will I handle the “weed talk”? Or will I smoke weed with my grown kids? While I think I have the answers, the fact of the matter is that I don’t know yet because my kids are still young (ages 7 and 4). So I decided to tap a mama with experience in raising kids into responsible adults. Wendy, a California mom of four and the author of “Why Mommy Gets High” joins the Blunt Blowin’ Mama podcast to share her perspective raising kids with the help of pot. She shares some tips for us mamas who are just starting out and she dishes on which of her adult kids she’s smoked weed with. It’s always special when mamas who have been through the weeds of motherhood share their knowledge with us newbie mamas at the start of our journey.
The Blunt Blowin' Mama podcast is BACK!!!! Thank you so much for your patience as I took a brief break from the podcast to focus on my mental and emotional health. If you haven't taken time to love on you, let this be a gentle reminder that you deserve it, sis. On this episode, I am joined by Mennlay Golokeh Aggrey the co-founder of Xula herbs, co-host of the "Broccoli Talk" podcast, and the author of "The Art of Weed Butter." We talk about cannabis for the "soft life" and how the plant is meant for femmes because it helps us so deeply in such powerful ways. Our womb space is so powerful which is why cannabis is so helpful when it comes to keeping it well and helping us stay in tune with our wombs. Mennlay also talks about Xula and why they created comprehensive, inclusive products that are meant for bodies that have wombs with an emphasis on taking care of BIPOC wombs, bodies, and reproductive health. Oh and y'all know I couldn't have this published cannabis cookbook author on the podcast without chatting quickly about cooking with weed! And she dropped GEMS. Y'all gonna love this episode :).
I admitted a hard truth last year: I needed to put in real time to improve my mental health and heal my traumas. I knew I couldn't work at a high level by juggling Blunt Blowin' Mama and a full-time journalism job with a major media company while also working on my very fractured mental health. I mean I do enjoy feeling like superwoman. But naw, I just didn't have it in me to do it all anymore. So, I made the impossible decision to take a break from Blunt Blowin' Mama and use that time to work on my mental health. I get into that in more detail in the episode, but this is a good precursor for context and whatnot. I also discuss on this episode how running has helped me not only lose 20 lbs but also improve my mental health. But it was a struggle at first getting back at it. I had to really humble myself when it came to my body and how shocked it was to move again. I also talk about healing and releasing a lot of trauma that I had been holding onto for years. I've been doing deep healing work on my mental health and I'm ready to share. More to come, boo! So, get in your fave smoke spot, roll up, pack a bowl or whateva and sesh with me -- I missed y'all so much, feels good to be back :). The Blunt Blowin' Mama podcast is back BACK backBACK!!! I want to thank you again for listening and your support. P.S. y'all gonna love the new smoke break!

We went on our first family vacation to New York City and it was actually really fun because we had tons of shrooms, edibles and weed! Speaking of shrooms, I had the bright idea to trip in the city (the Lower East Side to be exact) and well... things didn't exactly go as planned. (But it was still an very eye-opening psychedelic trip for me!) Between sight-seeing with the kiddos and having a lil psychedelic fun, I also had a chance to check out the NYC cannabis scene now that the adult use of cannabis is legal in the Big Apple. So much to dish on in this episode, y'all!

I experienced postpartum depression for two years after giving birth to my second child, my son, in 2019. But I didn't even know it because I didn't start exhibiting postpartum depression symptoms until about 12 months after giving birth in 2020. Cannabis was about the only thing that kept me functioning but it was also the thing that made it hard for me to recognize I was depressed. It's been a wild revelation for me and I talk about it with y'all on this episode. I get into how my depression impacted my life, work and family. I lost all desire to do the things I loved, I was having trouble taking care of myself (and my apartment), and I had gained a lot of weight (about 30 lbs). Still, I wasn't able to clearly see that I was not myself. Honestly, being so vulnerable with y'all on the podcast was scary. I shared some personal things about my life on this episode, and I really hope my story can serve as a testimony to help someone else who may be going through something similar. We are not alone. You are not alone.

On this week's episode of Blunt Blowin' Mama, we analyze a new study — published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences on Nov. 15 — on cannabis use in pregnancy. The study’s researchers revealed in their findings that cannabis use in pregnancy causes higher levels of cortisol in the children born, resulting in more instances of anxiety, stress, and depression. There were also reports that children born to mothers who smoked weed during pregnancy had higher instances of aggression and hyperactivity. We reached out to the study's author Yasmin Hurd but we received no reply. So, we brought on nurses Adjuan and Kait to unpack the study's findings and provide real, transparent, and unbiased insights. Check out the full episode now!

You can tell Rachael and Kendra are just as passionate about social equity and marijuana reform, as they are about their products and offerings. Mendi is working to be at the forefront of the market with their suite of products. The co-founders also dive into the 'boys club' energy at the leadership level of the cannabis industry, and the need for change. They are shaking it up by being queer identifying, female business leaders. If you are an athlete, a weekend warrior, or just a person who could use relief from physical discomfort or pain Mendi has a CBD product that can help.
Blunt Blowin' Mama connects with Meryl, the cofounder of Barbari Smoking Blends, a company specializing in a curated smoking experience, that uses only the highest food grade quality herbs. Valerie and Meryl met in college and became good friends. They both identify as creatives and found cannabis assisted with their process and projects, but didn't want to get too high to do well in class. This is where the idea of a perfectly balanced herbal and cannabis spliff was born. Fast forward a few years, Meryl had relocated to New York City after college for work and was finding, while she was making a ton of money, she was deeply unhappy. She didn't want to have to choose between happiness and stability. As fate would have it Valerie was sitting on a truly magical idea, that had the power to fill the need for passion in work, but also contained the potential for massive success. Shortly after sharing the idea with Meryl, and discussing what each of their roles would be in this new venture Barbari was born.
Blunt Blowin' Mama and Elise McDonough go over the mission to use cannabis in dishes outside of dessert. Elise McDonough is a former High Times contributor and specializes in consuming and creating MMJ Edibles. Elise believes that edibles can be the best way to consume cannabis by medical patients. She recommends that novice cannabis users should always go low and start slow to enjoy their experience to not get uncomfortably high. Elise currently works with Satori chocolates and provides insight on the product she creates. It is small batch, organic, and carefully crafted micro-dose cannabis infused nuts and bite sized snacks. A surprising insight is that edibles have more stringent requirements set by the local California government than many foods. Elise opens up and shares her experience being a white woman in cannabis, she shares her personal journey with consuming cannabis and explains how being arrested exposed her to injustices in the system and the disparities in experience from race to race when it comes to legal matters and weed. Blunt Blowin' Mama and Elise unpack the injustices in society and the need for systemic change to battle racial injustice and prejudice. Elise has been heavily involved with the fight for cannabis legalization and speaks on the disparity between white and brown entrepreneurs' success and how white business owners have more access to capital to launch and fund their cannabis businesses compared to their brown and black counterparts. In this episode Elise and Blunt Blowin' Mama also discuss the power cannabis has to change the world and heal the consumer, as well as why we should encourage ourselves to be creative with how we consume cannabis in our daily lives.

From being pregnant to the abortion to the subsequent healing and grieving process, weed was critical to my recovery. This is deeply personal information that normally I wouldn't share but when I took a step back to see how weed helped me get through my abortion I knew I had to share it. Because maybe hearing my story can help someone else. Weed is medicine and we all need to know it's an option.

Just in time for Mother's Day, Doreen chats on the podcast about hiding in the cannabis closet as a mom in the South who smoked weed and how that ultimately led her to create the popular My Bud Vase. As a woman who liked to smoke from bongs, she realized she needed a bong that did NOT look like a bong so she wouldn't have to hide it when visitors came over. She then had a realization that flower vases look an awful lot like bongs and My Bud Vase was born! We also chat about her favorite strain, her first time smoking weed, how to talk to kids about cannabis, and why it's so important for women to have a presence in the cannabis industry.

Smoking weed right before giving birth is pretty badass, which is the appropriate word to describe Jess aka The Mommy Jane. The mom of two is an advocate for all parents who choose plant medicine for their health and wellness.
Over a bong and hella weed -- we were getting stoned AF, y'all -- she reveals the best strains to smoke if you are trying to lose weight. She credits cannabis for her over 100-pound weight loss. Plus, we discuss: Doesn't it seem like babies whose moms smoked weed while pregnant are much more smarter than other babies?

Shrooms, acid, molly, Ayahuasca, and more are classified as psychedelics. Shelby and Madison are the cofounders of psychedelic publication DoubleBlind magazine. Listen, throw all your previous beliefs away about psychedelics because these ladies really broke down everything everyone should know about trippin'. They also explained why it's important to include psychedelics in holistic health and wellness conversations.
Shonitria also confessed to dabbling with a couple of trippy 'tings when she was in college -- so cliche, I know. Light one up, and open your third eye while you listen to this episode! I don't know about you guys but after listening, I have decided to plan a baecation with psychedelics ;).

Shonitria chats it up with popular cannabis lifestyle publication Broccoli magazine's Editor in Chief Anja, who gets really candid on why weed isn't the big bad drug we were all brainwashed to think it is and how she's using her publication to educate folks on the many amazing uses of the plant. Whipping out a copy of Broccoli magazine is certainly a good icebreaker to spark up conversations with any weed nay-sayer. Shonitria and Anja also discuss if the word "marijuana" should really be considered offensive.

As a mom with little kids at home, I often get asked how I plan to talk to my kiddos about cannabis. While I have an idea of how I want the conversation to go (open, honest and transparent), I still haven't had to have the "talk" with them about it since my daughter is 4 years old and my son is 8 months old. So I posed the question to my guest Ashley Kingsley, who is the proud mom of two and co-founder of cannabis wellness network Ellementa. Ashley also dished on how she likes to use cannabis to take care of herself as a woman going through menopause. To all the ladies: This is a must-hear episode!

There are so many things that go down once you bring baby home. One of the more unexpected things: Daddy may get a little jealous of that tiny little bundle of joy.
I mean men have these worthless nipples and babies need mama A LOT in those first few days, weeks and months. So... a little jealousy is normal, right?
(FYI: Bae is totally not feeling that I called him out on his jealousy towards our little ones LOL)

I recently recieved tons of comments and messages from cannabis using parents who wanted to share their encounters with Child Protective Services (CPS). This is one of the most important conversations we need to have about the plant as it becomes legal in more states.
Hear the stories of these brave parents who faced CPS and listen to what they want other parents to learn from them.
Oh, so about that open relationship chat with bae... I spill a bit more tea on this situation in this episode, too.
MY BAD: I was stoned, and I accidentally misspoke in the beginning of the episode when I called Netflix's "She's Gotta Have It" the popular teen drama (which I love BTW) "She's All That."
