Looking again on Black tv this 12 months, we will actually say that our tradition put out some high quality exhibits each returning and debuting alike. When it involves the latter, one of many standouts in our eyes was with out query the sequence premiere of G.R.I.T.S. on ALLBLK.
Following a stellar finale that aired final week, it was solely proper to get a more in-depth look into these “women raised in The South” to see what impressed the feminine camaraderie amongst main girls Jasmine Sargent, Ashanti Harris and Aja Canyon.

The girls of G.R.I.T.S. had been introduced collectively by the use of the present, but the relatability that you simply see on-screen between all three seems like age-old mates with a long time of recollections. We may see that even via the lens of a current digital dialog by way of Zoom, and it was a heartwarming sight to see. It made for a stark distinction from the way in which veteran actress Lela Rochon described her on-set expertise alongside Vivica A. Fox and Halle Berry whereas making the 1998 city cult basic, Why Do Fools Fall in Love. In dialog with Lena Waithe for her Legacy Talk series on YouTube, Rochon described the general expertise as “tough” and, in her phrases, “a kind of issues that you simply admire later.” From the three-way competitors to painting late singer Zola Taylor, finally going to Berry, to a shocking unique lineup that included Fox alternatively co-starring alongside Toni Braxton and Queen Latifah as a substitute, let’s simply say it wasn’t precisely “sister sunshine” round these trailers in in the least.
That doesn’t appear to be the case between Jasmine, Ashanti and Aja aka “Slimeroni.” All three girls describe their time collectively whereas making this present as nothing wanting sisterly. Whether hanging out at one another’s trailers or usually hitching a experience collectively to the set, they quickly went from merely being besties on a present into turning into mates in real-life.
In addition to what’s occurring this season, we additionally received the ladies to present their very own ideas on the place Keisha, Ty and Francis, respectively, every should be by Season 2 by way of character improvement. If you’ve been maintaining with the present thus far, it’s clear that one other season is certainly wanted with out query and there’s greater than sufficient storylines to observe for the foreseeable future.
In brief, we wish one other serving of G.R.I.T.S.!
