This episode is presented by Prime Video. Available now on Prime Video, Harlem is a single-camera comedy following the lives of four best girlfriends from their college days at NYU, as they navigate sex, relationships and chasing their dreams “…When you go through things, it doesn't mean you have to stop being friends, it means that you love each other more, it means that you push into each other more, you're holding each other accountable in love wrong or right.” Meagan Good (Camille) On this two-part episode of CherryPop, our host Meg McCarthy had the immense pleasure of talking to three of the lovely stars of Prime Video's Harlem, Meagan Good, Jerrie Johnson, and Shoniqua Shandai. Together, they discuss the power of sisterhood, their beautiful bond on screen and off, and the importance of seeing healthy examples of womanhood on screen.  Meg is later joined by the multi-talented creator, executive producer, and writer of Harlem, Tracy Oliver, and the series' fabulous and inspiring costume designer, Deirdra E. Govan. Tracy and Deirdra share their collaborative journey creating the show's vibrant world, a world that creates joy, meaning, and pays homage to their love and personal connection to the city of Harlem. “I felt like a lot of people were leaning into black pain and black struggle stories, and I deliberately decided to go against that. And I was like, No, I want bright, bold colors, and I want everyone to look aspirational.” Tracy Oliver (creator, executive producer, writer) CherryPicks is the best place to see what women think about movies, tv, and more.

On this week's episode of Acting Up, Cortney Wills dives into two new shows that highlight what it means to be a Black woman navigating friendship, love, and life in NYC. ‘Harlem’ star Jerrie Johnson reveals how she cultivated her groundbreaking character “Tye” for the Amazon Prime series from Tracy Oliver and tackled issues like “superwoman syndrome” and Reproductive health. Cortney also sits down with Nicole Ari Parker, who is bringing some much-needed melanin to the Sex and the City franchise with a big role in HBO Max’s highly anticipated limited series ‘And Just Like That’ to talk about the ways age-ism affects Black women in Hollywood and beyond.

In this episode I have the magical experience of hearing a bit of Jerrie Johnson's story.  Jerrie is a truly magnetic, beam of light and a dream guest! We connected via Zoom for a deeply inspiring bicoastal chat.  She told me about 5-year-old Jerrie and her poetry, her earliest creative masterpiece--her classroom's bulletin board, how Ntozake Shange's 'For colored girls who have considered suicide / when the rainbow is enuf" opened her up to her calling as an actor, her enchanted journey to the MFA program at ACT, unlearning colonized thought, the joy she finds in "out-manifesting" herself (like an INCREDIBLE DOUBLE booking right after grad school), how she maintains her expansive state and stays connected to source, the importance of FUN in her life, the earth's need for higher empathy, the magic of her alkaline diet, her abundance of book babies, creating from a specific sense of truth and authenticity and MUCH more.  Prepare to feel ignited... Keep an eye out for Jerrie recurring on Good Trouble on Freeform, and leading on a new Tracy Oliver comedy series coming to Amazon. https://jerrierjohnson.com https://www.imdb.com/name/nm10046181/ instagram.com/thejerriejohnson --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/theblankpaige/message
