TV’s Most “Woke” Shows
Being Mary Jane
Since its inception, Being Mary Jane has directly addressed important issues like immigration, suicide, and addiction both via Mary Jane Paul’s talk show, Talk Back, and in her personal life. And she, of course, addresses issues of visibility, race, and colorism, being a Black woman and a news anchor, and has done so with real-life activists like Michaela Angela Davis and singer India Arie making appearances.
