I love how you mentioned "immigrants in general." As a child of Indian immigrants, I'm so happy to see any immigrant group represented in a way that's not the typical stereotypes.
@Saniah Borgella Are you making fun of their name ?Bruh did u have to say it like that their name is literally one of the purest african names you could have !it's beautiful
I saw this trailer a few days ago, I'm so happy for the black/Nigerian representation, especially the fact that Abishola is non-ambiguous which I LOVE!
@@asc908 we kinda have/had. There was Love is... on OWN which was cancelled but I'm sure there are more. I just don't watch all shows to list a number of them
Does a black woman who falls in love with a non-black man really need to be called a "bed wench"? Or are you referring to a thin, fit woman falling in love with a chubby man as the definition of "bed wench"? Just enlighten us as to what a "bed wench" in 2019 is. Name some "bed wenches" for us.
@@GracedVille Non-ambiguous literally means it is something that doesn't have a double meaning, it can't be "interpreted" in more than one way. I believe @Dee Shawnte means the character is Nigerian, pure and simple and true to the black Nigerian culture. The character is not portrayed as a vague "African immigrant". I don't know if Dee will read this, but I hope if I have missed her point, she will chime in.
Gina Yashere is one of the writers, she is a hilarious British Nigerian descent comedian. She’s actually also in the show (the lady on the bus who said “at your age you can’t be picky”) as the lead characters best friend. She’s one of England’s best comedians and I’ve been waiting for my gyal to blow up for years. She’s bloody hilarious 💪
sambawomen Thank you for mentioning this because I was waiting for Gina’s name to be mentioned. I only heard Chuck Lorre... Everyone check out Gina Yashere ( she’s in L.A and an amazingly talented comedian and she has shows on Netflix too) .
So glad for this comment! When she was talking about ‘they hired a Nigerian team’ I was thinking ‘didn’t you look at who made the show before reviewing it’! I’m here for Gina all day everyday! She’s hilarious and it’s a shame she had to leave the UK to have more success... big loss for us, but great that she’s appreciated in LA!

@Black Girls Living Well I understand where you are coming from, but it really wasn't as easy as you mentioned it, a lot of context missing between that definition.
I'm @ A Hospital & My Nigerian Nurses Are THE BEST!!Everytime I'm Not Well Or Sad They know Exactly How 2ease me.Their Mama Hugs&Talks Are Heart Warming♥️😊
Even as a Ghanaian/American I'm smiling from ear to ear watching this especially when she said, "Study hard become a doctor ,and take care of me when you get old" Immediately got childhood flashbacks.
Yoooo when you said “I would have loved to see a Nigerian immigrant with a black American” I was like “I LITERALLY JUST SAID THAT” 😭😭 great minds think alike!
I feel like "Africans" are kinda seen as African Americans wen we come here I don't c y it should be with an African american man cause we r literally the same
Stop complaining about every little thing especially if a black Nigerian woman gets a big role like this and some representation!!be happy instead of saying “a more attractive leading man woulda been cool”🙄
Have you watched chewing gum? African representation of an awkward black girl, although it is from the UK. It’s hands down the best comedy I’ve ever seen
When Kemi showed Abisola the socks after being asked who is this like his name is socks 😂😆 funny thing is that's how Nigerian Ladies do our friends ask who I guy is and we point at what they bought, did, or something that isn't their names chai I'm so watching this 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I love how the comedy is very authentic and the jokes aren’t doing too much. I’m happy that nigerian kids can have their own relatable experience on a mainstream platform.
Well I think having 2 professional Black American parents/ household is nostalgic & reminiscent of the Cosby show, The Parenthood, Family Matters, Fresh Prince...etc. This Black American representation should always be represented. But, yes I would also like to see more diaspora family shows as well
I think the concept is nice ig, but why they had to get an older, big, white man for a beautiful Nigerian woman instead of a fit, young, and handsome white man?🤔 Or even an African American man as you said?
Because he big, he’s trash? Lol ok. Ya act like her character young, they look the same age range. The character looks well put together, better than a show where black man in trash and trying to chase a dream while landing a real one who wasting her time supporting his ass instead she got a man with means chasing her ass.
To be honest I wasn't really feeling the show when I first heard of it but I might watch for Abishola and her fam... she reminds me of some of my relatives 😂😂😂...plus she's Nigerian sooo 🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬...
Oh, they could have made a new show with a Black Nigerian doctor and an African American nurse or lawyer. Every Black in America would have been excited about that.
It could work but I believe with all the cable channels out now the Big Three networks won't do that. Cosby Show came about before BET and now Internet got big.

I really like the representation. She's a beautiful woman. I like that shes authentic and not an actress trying to be African. I don't like the fact that the love interest is an overweight white man.🙄 However my feelings are conflicted. They can always find positive representation for other people but never American black women.
The white man got money. He’s a white man who you expect to not find beauty in an African woman. Idk I find this could be an interesting show and dynamic. The can really bridge cultural barriers
You definitely spoke facts about African parents and being a doctor lol...I wanted to major in photography in college, my dad wanted me to do nursing, so after long and hard consideration my mum forced me to go to medical school...I'm in my 2nd year🙃🙃
This show is perfect somewhere in the world there is a couple just like the one on this show that can heavily relate and more than likely appreciate the exposure. I once seen a couple on the transit bus in Orlando beautiful slim black woman with a heavy set “kinda hood looking” Asian dude and they were cute af together in my opinion! There are all kinds of mix matches everywhere and I’m sure this show was inspired by someone in this situation.
Finally, somebody that doesn't care about how Bob looks, most comments are either that she should date an African American or a fit white guy and am like just sit down and enjoy the sitcom.
@@TK-rt2oy I was born in the u.s but I'm a descendant of the diaspora and I always had a spiritual connection with Nigeria, and to find out that gaps are look at as a sign of beauty is so nice, even nicer since I have a big one😉😉😀.
Black people come from all different cultures and ethnicity groups. We are ALL different individually we'll consider ourselves to ALL be apart of black community. Are people that dense to not realize that?
@@talkswithali Everytime someone mentions black people, someone try to bring whites in the discuss. And everytime someone mentions whites, another one tries to bring blacks. I notice.
Ok so...I Absolutely LIVE for the fact that there is authentic Nigerian heritage being shown to the main stream...BUT, why everytime they decide to put an African/darkskin Black person on the television they just HAVE to date/marry a white person???? Like our Damn lives depend on it? I'm tired of it being pushed soooooooo much. Like where is the push for black couples? You can literally count on your hand how many mainstream shows depict black couples😑😑😑. I'm rooting for the culture and I'm glad some Black people are getting their coins but like...YIKES y'know? All I can think about is that sociologists who said "it's time for black women to date white men".🤔😬😬😬
As a Liberian I find it very refreshing, but when you said “why do you smell like (sorry don’t know how to spell it) jallef rice” I was crying literally I miss that so much I lost my mom six months ago so when anyone mentions African cooking I’m sooooo jealous bless you queen and keep up the good work🙏🏾
I used to live in Nigeria in Rivers State in Port Harcourt. Though an American I wanted an African experience so that's where I landed. It is truly most amazing to see something like this. It reminds me of many memories of those days. Can't wait to see it. But why not a good looking man for that beautiful woman.
I am not Nigerian and I didn't know what language she sang in, but I was tearing up. When I had my baby my nurse was Nigerian and she was so sweet. She asked me if I was Nigerian and I said no my family came here on the boats and she told me I looked like people from back home and I almost cried. It would be awesome if I could trace my roots back to Nigerian culture.
I'm part Nigerian American. My mother is black from Mississippi and my father is from Nigeria. Even though I couldn't really experience too much of my culture cause my father died when I was younger. I've still experienced being treated differently cause of my last name.
@Peezy peezy : They should have used a better looking actor though. But am glad he is the one doing the chasing...not her. Would be a bad look if she was the one chasing that fat ass bootleg Chris Pine
I did an Ancestry DNA test and found out I am mainly of Nigerian descent. I’ve been learning all I can about the culture stolen from our ancestors so that they’re struggle was not in vain. I will definitely be watching the show!!
You know they couldn’t have a black man as a love interest on white television. They gotta feel included in everything. 🤷🏽♀️ But definitely gonna check out this show ❤️
There are men shows on television with black couples. What the heck is white television? When I turn the television on, I see people of all races. I am glad that I have regular television instead what you have.
Thanks for raising awareness about a Nigerian show Eloho. I'm a Nigerian living in Nigeria and I was so surprised to hear an authentic Nigerian accent and people speaking Yoruba on a show produced in America. I've finished season 1. It's a nice show. Very relatable and I like the humour for the most part.
-what I like How the actress is actually Nigerian. How she speaks in her main language in the show. How it showcase a dark skin black woman actually being courted and not the one that is man hungry or can't get or keep a man. How it is a mostly black cast. Mother and son relationship. -What I don't like or feel meh about Why does he have to be unattractive? Weird stalking behavior.
One of my former coworkers is an African American woman who is married to a Nigerian American man. They've been married for years and have three kids. They seem happy.
Omg...allll my homies are africans!!! Im haitian 🇭🇹 My best friends are Nigerian....i got excited when i heard the name and then her accent...i said yaaaaasssss😂😂. Then her singing in her native tongue...i was shocked!!!! I am rooting for it tho! I sent it to all my homies...
Im not sure about the white man being the love interest tho...i wish it was an all Nigerian show ... but i guess you have to be palpable to a wider audience 🤷🏾♀️
@@iameloho718 Girl i am a new subscriber!!! I've been binging on ur material heeeaavvvvyy!! I had to hear ur take on this show...i wish my people had a show like this on mainstream!!! Keep doing you hun...i hope this show is successful...im surprised you took it the same way i did.
I’m excited about it! I’ve come to love and appreciate Nigerian culture by watching Nollywood so it’ll be interesting to see authentic Nigerians on an American show!
We are the black race as a whole, but we have different cultures, customs and upbringing. We can not be all place in a box and generalize. But, some still try to do so.
@@tusais7 Why are you bringing white people in this? Trying to defend them from whatever. They are generalized as racists because they are and benefit from it. Stop trying to include them in every our shit.
Thats true we are diverse in our cultures nothing wrong that im a descendant of enslaved afrikans brought to america so i have the socalled black american experience but i love nigerian culture music and food you cant miss me on fela kutis music on jollof rice egusi soup and okra soup my favorite dishes i love the art of the benin kingdom and im learning yoruba slowly but surely my point is i look for what unites us as black people our rich and diverse cultures many afrikans in west africa have all but distanced themselves from traditional afrikan beliefs but in the diaspora old afrikan spirituality thrives in places like ayiti and cuba the rest of the west indies and across latin america as in brazil no we arent a monolith but we are family
@@tusais7 there you go interjecting into black folks conversation ok lets go down the list france england spain germany portugal italy belgium the netherlands denmark these are the white countries that enslaved afrikans by the millions murdered afrikans by the milliions murdered other indigenous people by the millions colonised much of the planet where non white people lived introduced global white racialism and did the other white countries do stand by and watch and benefit from the rape and exploitation of the non white peoples resources i want you to read a book called how europe underdeveloped africa by walter rodney and if you dont want to be generalised as racist start raising your voice over injustice white people are 66pct of amerikkkas population and 60pct of amerikkka voted for a racist president you tell me all of you arent racist man theres a little bit of hitler in all white folks
Im not Nigerian but i got emotional because they are not just trying to let her use her accent, but they also are excepting and letting her use her native tongue which is so beautiful !
I wish I was just centered on her not “Bob loves...” and I wish they just used Bob to introduce her character to the audience she’s a good actress & I love the mom from Chewing Gum But too bad it’s gonna be cancelled
I’m a nurse. Most Nigerians I know are doctors and nurses. I thought it was just bc I was in the medical field but hearing you and reading the comments, I see it isn’t a coincidence lol

I’d have rather seen her with a Black American man too, but baby steps I guess. Props for not being one of the “all of a sudden people” lol They get on my nerves.
Amazing - Abishola’s mother is played by Shola Adewusi! She’s British-Nigerian, and is one of my favourite character actors here in the U.K. She’s brilliant as Tracey’s mother in Chewing Gum if you can view it in the States...I’m excited for this show just to see her making the leap into American TV alone!

The white man got money. He’s a white man who you expect to not find beauty in an African woman. Idk I find this could be an interesting show and dynamic. The can really bridge cultural barriers
@Marquis Doe Very true, it's disappointing.
@@MsJustSayin That's an interesting perspective. I too, want to see what the dynamic of the show will be.
Agreed they basically telling educated bw u can’t be picky snatch that fat whitey🙄
I love your hair. I love your makeup.I love your shirt. I just love you and personality in general.
You definitely spoke facts about African parents and being a doctor lol...I wanted to major in photography in college, my dad wanted me to do nursing, so after long and hard consideration my mum forced me to go to medical school...I'm in my 2nd year🙃🙃
Do you still do photography as a hobby at least?
That's kinda heartbreaking, ngl. I hope you succeed in your current field though.
Nigerian students were one of the most studious in my class.
This show is perfect somewhere in the world there is a couple just like the one on this show that can heavily relate and more than likely appreciate the exposure. I once seen a couple on the transit bus in Orlando beautiful slim black woman with a heavy set “kinda hood looking” Asian dude and they were cute af together in my opinion! There are all kinds of mix matches everywhere and I’m sure this show was inspired by someone in this situation.
Finally, somebody that doesn't care about how Bob looks, most comments are either that she should date an African American or a fit white guy and am like just sit down and enjoy the sitcom.
A lotta Nigerians got gaps like damn😂💕
Lol yeah
Amu Dihnana lol yeah true even the biracial ones them genes strong
@Jayna B Where was that going?
In my culture you having a gap is considered beautiful kind of like how a beauty spot is in western cultures😊
@@TK-rt2oy I was born in the u.s but I'm a descendant of the diaspora and I always had a spiritual connection with Nigeria, and to find out that gaps are look at as a sign of beauty is so nice, even nicer since I have a big one😉😉😀.
Black people come from all different cultures and ethnicity groups. We are ALL different individually we'll consider ourselves to ALL be apart of black community. Are people that dense to not realize that?
Lols some are very dense and divisive...
We need to acknowledge our differences, but we need to remember that we are black first. Always on code 💯
@@umaguriaveraz2834 I agree...the differences are what make us unique and diverse and should serve to bring us together not divide...
@Yas Gasovna Yes, of course. But my comment was about black people.
@@talkswithali Everytime someone mentions black people, someone try to bring whites in the discuss. And everytime someone mentions whites, another one tries to bring blacks. I notice.
Ok so...I Absolutely LIVE for the fact that there is authentic Nigerian heritage being shown to the main stream...BUT, why everytime they decide to put an African/darkskin Black person on the television they just HAVE to date/marry a white person???? Like our Damn lives depend on it? I'm tired of it being pushed soooooooo much. Like where is the push for black couples? You can literally count on your hand how many mainstream shows depict black couples😑😑😑. I'm rooting for the culture and I'm glad some Black people are getting their coins but like...YIKES y'know? All I can think about is that sociologists who said "it's time for black women to date white men".🤔😬😬😬
She grinding her high heels into piggacorn's face 😩
☠️☠️☠️
This looks great. I wish TV could use real jamaicans now too.
Colorful Codes these accents are out of control. So bad!!!
Dem wooda dead wid laugh
@@beckjeezy I know its so annoying. Its been years and they still use Americans. I think they just assume they know the accent correctly. Smh.
Facts this has to stop I’ll sign the petition 🙌🏿🇭🇹
In the UK we had Desmond's which ran for decades - full Jamaican cast. We also had meet the Adebanjos a few years ago
Even though I'm British-Ghanian I'm so gassed for this show! I've never seen anything like this so chale I pray they come correct oooo 🇬🇭 🇳🇬
This show is the oppressor's Trojan horse.
Absolutely love the representation of Nigerians in this show 🇳🇬
Much love from South Africa ❤️😊
As a Liberian I find it very refreshing, but when you said “why do you smell like (sorry don’t know how to spell it) jallef rice” I was crying literally I miss that so much I lost my mom six months ago so when anyone mentions African cooking I’m sooooo jealous bless you queen and keep up the good work🙏🏾
Pharaoh Avalon *jellof rice I got u ❤️
Funniest G Like g thank you ✌🏾
Oh Eloho posted another woke video? of course I clicked no question❤️
Can't handle the slayage 😭 makeup tutorial PLEASE 🙏🏿💗
I used to live in Nigeria in Rivers State in Port Harcourt. Though an American I wanted an African experience so that's where I landed. It is truly most amazing to see something like this. It reminds me of many memories of those days. Can't wait to see it. But why not a good looking man for that beautiful woman.
I am not Nigerian and I didn't know what language she sang in, but I was tearing up.
When I had my baby my nurse was Nigerian and she was so sweet. She asked me if I was Nigerian and I said no my family came here on the boats and she told me I looked like people from back home and I almost cried. It would be awesome if I could trace my roots back to Nigerian culture.
I'm part Nigerian American. My mother is black from Mississippi and my father is from Nigeria. Even though I couldn't really experience too much of my culture cause my father died when I was younger. I've still experienced being treated differently cause of my last name.
Black people in mississippi are afrikans too they are afrikans abroad as marcus garvey said
I love the Nigerian representation 🇳🇬🥰 but this Bob dude is coming off too creepy atm😂😩😩
@Peezy peezy You haven't been paying attention to anything these past decades huh.
@Peezy peezy : They should have used a better looking actor though. But am glad he is the one doing the chasing...not her. Would be a bad look if she was the one chasing that fat ass bootleg Chris Pine
@Peezy peezy : My wife is Mexican American. Please take that fake woke shit elsewhere bro. Am not about that life
@Peezy peezy it's the other way round, Black men like sloppy Fat, White Women. No disrespect to sloppy Fat White Women.
I'm not crazy about fat boy either, I'm just happy to see a dark skinned black African woman being represented properly for once.
I did an Ancestry DNA test and found out I am mainly of Nigerian descent. I’ve been learning all I can about the culture stolen from our ancestors so that they’re struggle was not in vain. I will definitely be watching the show!!
You know they couldn’t have a black man as a love interest on white television. They gotta feel included in everything. 🤷🏽♀️ But definitely gonna check out this show ❤️
There are men shows on television with black couples. What the heck is white television? When I turn the television on, I see people of all races. I am glad that I have regular television instead what you have.
Stop lying lady it's all they do
Please stop please. There is nothing wrong with a white red, blue human. BTW am black.
I don't think that's the message they are trying to get across, pls remove your ethnocentric glasses and enjoy the show.
What is white television? Yes, bl;ack woman are allowed to date men of other races.
Awe my son didn't get to hear ur intro this time what happened?...I saw that, one of my bf name is abisola without the h..
It was probably a copyright issue.
Ur probably right I didn't think of that.
Just an editing hiccup.
Your introoo what happened :( this is the content im looking for .
Thanks for raising awareness about a Nigerian show Eloho. I'm a Nigerian living in Nigeria and I was so surprised to hear an authentic Nigerian accent and people speaking Yoruba on a show produced in America. I've finished season 1. It's a nice show. Very relatable and I like the humour for the most part.
-what I like
How the actress is actually Nigerian.
How she speaks in her main language in the show.
How it showcase a dark skin black woman actually being courted and not the one that is man hungry or can't get or keep a man.
How it is a mostly black cast.
Mother and son relationship.
-What I don't like or feel meh about
Why does he have to be unattractive?
Weird stalking behavior.
One of my former coworkers is an African American woman who is married to a Nigerian American man. They've been married for years and have three kids. They seem happy.
Omg...allll my homies are africans!!! Im haitian 🇭🇹 My best friends are Nigerian....i got excited when i heard the name and then her accent...i said yaaaaasssss😂😂. Then her singing in her native tongue...i was shocked!!!! I am rooting for it tho! I sent it to all my homies...
Madame Supa 😫🤗💓🇳🇬
Im not sure about the white man being the love interest tho...i wish it was an all Nigerian show ... but i guess you have to be palpable to a wider audience 🤷🏾♀️
@@iameloho718 Girl i am a new subscriber!!! I've been binging on ur material heeeaavvvvyy!! I had to hear ur take on this show...i wish my people had a show like this on mainstream!!! Keep doing you hun...i hope this show is successful...im surprised you took it the same way i did.
I’m greedy so I want our own wife and kids. Our own George Lopez. A full Nigerian family.
I’m excited about it! I’ve come to love and appreciate Nigerian culture by watching Nollywood so it’ll be interesting to see authentic Nigerians on an American show!
I’m Nigerian too!🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬 That show seems funny can’t wait to watch it.
We are the black race as a whole, but we have different cultures, customs and upbringing. We can not be all place in a box and generalize. But, some still try to do so.
@@tusais7 but the conversation is about Black people...
@@tusais7 Why are you bringing white people in this? Trying to defend them from whatever. They are generalized as racists because they are and benefit from it. Stop trying to include them in every our shit.
Thats true we are diverse in our cultures nothing wrong that im a descendant of enslaved afrikans brought to america so i have the socalled black american experience but i love nigerian culture music and food you cant miss me on fela kutis music on jollof rice egusi soup and okra soup my favorite dishes i love the art of the benin kingdom and im learning yoruba slowly but surely my point is i look for what unites us as black people our rich and diverse cultures many afrikans in west africa have all but distanced themselves from traditional afrikan beliefs but in the diaspora old afrikan spirituality thrives in places like ayiti and cuba the rest of the west indies and across latin america as in brazil no we arent a monolith but we are family
@@tusais7 there you go interjecting into black folks conversation ok lets go down the list france england spain germany portugal italy belgium the netherlands denmark these are the white countries that enslaved afrikans by the millions murdered afrikans by the milliions murdered other indigenous people by the millions colonised much of the planet where non white people lived introduced global white racialism and did the other white countries do stand by and watch and benefit from the rape and exploitation of the non white peoples resources i want you to read a book called how europe underdeveloped africa by walter rodney and if you dont want to be generalised as racist start raising your voice over injustice white people are 66pct of amerikkkas population and 60pct of amerikkka voted for a racist president you tell me all of you arent racist man theres a little bit of hitler in all white folks
Im not Nigerian but i got emotional because they are not just trying to let her use her accent, but they also are excepting and letting her use her native tongue which is so beautiful !
The t-shirt is a vibe and a way of life on this side🇳🇬😍❤
I love your T-shirt!!!! So glad you could identify with the representation,
I wish I was just centered on her not “Bob loves...” and I wish they just used Bob to introduce her character to the audience she’s a good actress & I love the mom from Chewing Gum But too bad it’s gonna be cancelled
Why would it be cancelled?
@@daisya4422 the show "chewing gum" is getting canceled.
@@JamieBleu oh I thought it was already canceled a long time ago
Chewing gum is getting cancelled!? I love that series!
I knew I recognised the mom
I really do wish that he wasn't over weight, tho.(dont @ me).
High Definition 🤣🤣🤣
Same lol.
High Definition It's alright. This isn't some liberal YTs channel, your opinion is safe here as long as it isn't aimed to disrespect.
And was good looking
His personality compensates for his looks
I haven’t heard about this show. Thanks for pointing it out👍🏽👍🏽
I'm supposed to be sleeping but as I was abt to you uploaded so guess the sleep will wait
"Welcome sis"
Me:😔😪 I'm a brother.

A ehh I feel bad but damn I appreciate you stepping up watching things lkke this
I’m a nurse. Most Nigerians I know are doctors and nurses. I thought it was just bc I was in the medical field but hearing you and reading the comments, I see it isn’t a coincidence lol

Am Nigerian, I always had a feeling you were Nigerian. It's nice to hear you say it. Thanks for always looking out for us blacks.
You were so sweet at 4:48 💕💕💟It is so beautiful to see accurate portrayals of Nigerians. Ya'll are a sweet and wealthy people. Representation does matter in media especially to Blacks & Africans. Also love the shirt. Thanks for the reaction Eloho.
This is cute but I feel they are still tryna push swirling 🤦🏾♀️
Cant6e Kissy yup
Oyinbos😤😤
Is there some issue with swirling or something ? 🤔
@@froxfro4589: Yes, swirling is an agenda to stop black men and black women from coming together and making black babies. The less black babies in the future, the less black people in the future.
LEAH xUCHIHA No I just don’t understand why is it so hard to get a black couple on t.v. And I’m not talking about that fake black . I want big lips , nappy hair and wide noses. It’s like we can’t put out a positive relationship unless we with another race .
My family took a test and I found out that I'm NIGERIAN
😏😍
LIFE WITH CHRISSY what test African Ancestry?
Your hair is always on point. Like babe... Making sense.
Bob heart Abishola is the next big thing by Chuck Lorre after The Big Bang Theory, can't wait!!!🕺🕺🕺

Yass! I did the ancestry dna test 3 years ago and uploaded my reaction. I love your personality so I subscribed and followed your Instagram.
I’d have rather seen her with a Black American man too, but baby steps I guess.
Props for not being one of the “all of a sudden people” lol They get on my nerves.
I loveeeee your hair! 💕 so cute & looks natural.
That’s crazy I just got finished watching one of your videos I’m glad you made another video 💕
Amazing - Abishola’s mother is played by Shola Adewusi! She’s British-Nigerian, and is one of my favourite character actors here in the U.K. She’s brilliant as Tracey’s mother in Chewing Gum if you can view it in the States...I’m excited for this show just to see her making the leap into American TV alone!
