I had the pleasure of attending a pre screening for Girls Trip at The Whitby Hotel last week.  I didn’t realize how badly I needed to see Black women on the big screen, cutting loose without concern for the White and/or male gaze.  After seeing so many female iterations of The Hangover and shows like Broad City that feature White women in “unconventional ways,” it felt like Black women couldn’t do the same.
