‘She’s Gotta Have It’

Taking a break from reading and decided to check out the new Spike Lee Netflix series ‘She’s Gotta Have It’. This is a must see series, especially as a single woman.

Summary: Nola’s story is simple enough: She is trying to do exactly what she wants, exactly when she wants. She wants to date three men at the same time, but in their own ways, Greer (Cleo Anthony), Jaime (Lyriq Beats), and Mars (Anthony Ramos) hold her back. (And though their mannered, stereotypical poses are sometimes irritating, it’s even less interesting when they’re given backstory; only Nola, and her gravitational pull, really feel vital to the plot.) The bewitching thing about “She’s Gotta Have It” — show and film — is how simple Nola’s desire ought to be, and yet how complex and even dangerous it becomes. Even in the show’s richly evoked modern Brooklyn, arguably one of the most progressive spaces in the world, Nola’s life in the city is a frustrating maze of obstacles and barriers.

I love everything about Nola Darling. How she’s fighting for her identity and the right to just simply be. Be a single woman making her own choices and living the life of her wildest dreams. It resonates with who I am today. I’m no longer seek the approval of others (especially from men), as I’ve done for so many years and my focus is building my dreams and my very own empire. Free flowing, artistic, good vibes and lots of sex explains Nola Darling in a nutshell. Oh. sand let’s add won’t put up with any bullshit to the list. It’s truly empowering to watch.

Check out the series for yourself. I promise that you won’t be disappointed.
