Black Love Represent (BLR) is a podcast dedicated to exploring the representation of Black love in cinema. Our focus is Black romantic love and what these characters and stories mean to the larger discussion of Black storytelling, culture, and diversity. We discuss characters, plot, settings, music, and most importantly how these images and stories reflect our communities. The BLR Crew consists of Gigi and Tahir, who are always down to dissect, debate and celebrate representation. As we go, special guests will join our discussion. Come with us!
