    Taking A Sabbatical

    It's a wrap! For our last hang of the year, we huddled around the critically acclaimed film Sabbatical, created by Karabo Lediga. A grounded portrait of mother-daughter relationships that left us with many thoughts. Also, in the spirit of last things, we round off with a look at finales - what makes a great finale that'll stay on your mind? Drink Up. Last rounds!   Listen. To. Us.  #BlackSterring #BSRadio #Sabbatical #Diprente #KaraboLediga #KagisoLediga #Drama #MothersDay #Daughters #Family #Pretoria #Stokvel #InvestmentBankers

    Being Childish

    You guessed it, we're getting childish with comedian, actor and filmmaker Donald Glover who also doubles as rapper and false-setto extraordinaire Childish Gambino - which he may be retiring. From his earlier role on Community to creator of Atlanta right through to musician, this guy is kaleidoscopic. We finger licking fux wid it.    Listen. To.

    Forever Young Luv

    If RnB was a writer, it would have to be Mara Brock Akil. The showrunner and television writer who created Girlfriends, Being Mary Jane and Love Is - also wrote on Moesha - has given a GenZ love story that follows the coming-of-age romance of young couple Keisha and Justin. What a beautiful portrait of young black love for the ages!   Listen. To. Us.   #Forever #foreverlove #blacklove #MaraBrockAkil #BlackSterring #BSRadio #blackpodcast #rnb
