In my downtime, aside from reading, blogging and scrolling through my social media newsfeeds, I love catching up on my favorite television shows. Now, it’s been a while since I’ve watched traditional television. Don’t get me wrong… I catch my fair share of Scandal, How to Get Away with Murder, Empire, Power and Being Mary Jane episodes. However, independent webseries are my homies!

And nooooo I’m not talking about Netflix, aka thirst trap central. My must-haves reside on Youtube and VHX. More specifically, I love watching Black webseries that reflect my every day friends, family and situatons. I want to share a few of my favorite webseries that relate to Greek life in some way, shape or form.

One of my absolute faaaaaaaaavorite Youtube channels is Black & Sexy TV. If you haven’t heard of it, it is vital that you check it out. VI-TAL! I appreciate that Black & Sexy TV offers a variety of quality programming. All of their shows have characters that look like me and mirror my life.

Whether it’s situations I’ve been in, people I know, or thoughts that I’ve had, Black & Sexy TV explores all of my major personal touchpoints. Let’s put it this way, if you love 90s black television, you’ll love Black & Sexy TV. Their current roster consist of: The Couple, The Number, That Guy, RoomieLoverFriends, HelloCupid, Yellow, Becoming Nia, Sexless, and Chef Julian.

I would recommend clicking on the hyperlinks and checking each show out for yourself. The narratives are as diverse as our lives are. Unlike our favorite Primetime Melaninated Queens, not all of us are high profile media consultants, prominent university professors, sexy music producers nor controversial news anchors. Emphasis on “not all of us”, we still outchea. However, we do kick back with our homeboys (That Guy) . We struggle with juggling our mains and our side pieces (Sexless, Chef Julian). We make bets with our best friends on if we’re going to get hits on our online dating profiles (Hello Cupid). We room with persons of the opposite sex and attempt to not catch feelings (RoomieLoverFriends). We make fun of the Drakes of the world ( in my Nicki voice “No…no..no no no no no…no shade!” (Yellow). These situations aren’t foreign to us. and THIS is what makes Black & Sexy TVwebseries so great. They’re hilarious. They’re relateable. They’re real life.

And if that little spiel didn’t convince you to watch, they’re also Greek. Not everyone, but some of the cast and crew members are from our organizations! Check out the Black & Sexy Divine Nine Crew below. To read their bios and enlarge the pictures, click on the photos. AND THEN…GO WATCH THE WEBISODES!

{Sidenote: Ashley Blaine Featherson (end of slideshow), didn’t get a profile. Why? I don’t know…I didn’t create the graphics. LOL. However, she is a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Inc. She crossed with the Alpha Chapter AKAs at Howard University. Her hometown is Gaithersburg, Maryland, but she currently lives in LA. She plays Whitney in Hello Cupid and you might have seen her in a little movie called Dear White People. 😉 Her IG and Twitter is@AshleyBlaine if you wanna follow. }
