Sister, Sister: Can You Grow Up Without Growing Apart? | Season 4 Premiere

Can you grow up without growing apart?Magic, Movies & Melanin is back for Season 4, and we’re doing something a little different this time. TV is officially in the mix!For the season premiere, let’s goes back to Sister, Sister and looks at three episodes from different points in Tia and Tamera’s lives: “You Are So Beautiful,” “A Separate Peace,” and “Home Sweet Dorm.”Watching them back-to-back as an adult tells a story the show never really announces out loud. Two girls who spent so much of their time figuring out who they were together eventually had to figure out who they were apart.We’re talking about identity, the need for your own space, leaving home, and what Sister, Sister gave Black kids who got to grow up watching Tia and Tamera do the same.And underneath all of it is a question that hits a little differently once you’re grown: How do you let the people you love change without mistaking that change for losing them?Welcome to Season 4!
