Wheeeeeww this came at the right time. I took a quote from this video and put it on my desk. Great episode ladies! ❤️❤️ . “We don’t see people’s pain, we see people’s protection” 🔥
Very thoughtful breakdown of what to really consider when looking at trauma. I hope this inspires someone who needs to hear who may be going through similar experiences. May they always be encouraged!
I just finished the video I love it. Since my name is Aisha when you talked about her it made it more funny for me. Honestly this is a really good RU-vid channel and very helpful to young therapist.
The breakdown of this video was good! It’s one of my favorite John Singleton films! I appreciate how you ladies breakdown trauma. It’s important to understand trauma and how different situations and life events can have a traumatic effects on people.
Gotta mention that lucky had a reason to not trust women too. His baby mama could of made him bitter too. Chicago had a lot of insecurities but seemed to actually like her he even defended her from lucky talking trash. Once Chicago’s pride was hurt he lashed out. Esha seem to genuinely feel remorse for hurting Justice feelings. If you look at Justice in the beginning of the movie you can tell were her and esha friendship started. Lucky saying if he wouldn’t have stopped so much his cousin may have made it could be true but it was no one’s fault, things happen.
You make some really good points and we agree with them all. We could have highlighted more the relationship with Lucky and his child’s mom and how that could have also possibly affected him or why Chicago acted the way he did. Thanks so much for watching and engaging!
Y'all seem very forgiving for bad behavior for women, but have less empathy and grace for the men like most black women I have seen do these types of reactions. When men do these types of breakdowns they seem a lot more unbiased.
I’d want to sit with Chicago in a session. I’m sure his past has made him place a lot of value in his appearance and finances. Converting his response to hurt and disappointment would do him a world of good.
I’ve always connected with Justice on a level that runs much deeper than her nostalgic box braids and iconic wardrobe. Her overwhelming sense of abandonment and isolation resonates with my life completely. Not only that, but writing poetry is her one place of solace at a time when she is constantly misinterpreted and overlooked by others. Poetry is my life, and writing about my pain has often been my primary coping mechanism for several years now. I am so grateful for this classic film, I feel that it was written for women just like me. 🤎
Absolutely! You can always tell when something is written by us and for us. We love that the writers really saw black women and did not continue to demonize us. This is a great comment.
