MadameNoire Featured Video

Netflix

Lena Waithe seems determined to keep shining. After a stellar 2017, including an Emmy win for her writing on the “Thanksgiving” episode “Master of None” and the upcoming Showtime series, “The Chi,” she is not slowing down.

For her latest project, she’ll serve as producer for Netflix’s new movie Step Sisters.

The title is a play on words. Instead of exploring the dynamics of a blended family, Step Sisters follows the life of a Black woman, in a historically Black sorority, who decides to teach a White sorority how to step in order to repair their reputation and secure her admission to Harvard.

The teaser trailer for the film dropped yesterday.

I bet you can guess where I’m going with this. Y’all know what happens when Black Greeks are featured as the subject of a piece of art, Black folk, Greek and non-Greek alike, have plenty to say. And now that there is a racial element to it, there are more than a few opinions swirling around.
