What are some black shows like 'Godfather of Harlem'? After a long day at work, it feels nice to just watch something that makes me feel connected to my community. Drop your suggestions in the comments!

I was 31 before I watched a series that starred someone of my own background (and that was because he was a particular cast), so I'm the wrong person to ask.

I'm also hoping to meet an attorney of my own ethnic background one day 🫠

Someone on LinkedIn expressed disappointment about the lack of diversity from the big law firms in TX that were posting pics of their summer associates. A managing partner commented that he thought the post might be about a pic he posted (12/14 SAs were white). He tried to defend this by saying that they had LGBT and socioeconomic diversity. The fact that he recognized that his pic might be part of the problem says it all. Law firms need to do better. Sorry, I just wanted to rant.
