"HBO’s The Gilded Age, and HBO Max’s The Sex Lives of College Girls, as well as OWN’s The Kings of Napa, Starz’s Run the World, Peacock’s Bel-Air and Prime Video’s Harlem are among a slew of shows that depict well-to-do Black families and women, successful and thriving," says Mónica Marie Zorrilla. "Decades after The Cosby Show, Fresh Prince of Bel-Air and years after Black-ish came on the scene, these narratives of Black elites, entrepreneurs and opulence deserve more spots on-screen as well for more authentic and full-bodied representation."
