YANF Rewind: Problematic Tropes: The Black Best Friend

Hey Ragers! This week has been a bit hectic as I began working on a new project, and I want to ensure that the new episode I'm working on for you is as amazing as it deserves to be, so this week, I thought you might enjoy listening to Keegan and I chat! In this episode, we talk about the harmful Black Best Friend trope that shows up in movies, television, books, and more. Why are Black men and women being pigeonholed into being the best friend, instead of the main character? This episode was brought to you by Nutrafol!
