What’s that now? HOODED or Being Black for Dummies
It’s part comedy, part totally dead-serious look into what it means to be young and black in America today.
Borne out of the tragic murder of Trayvon Martin, Hooded is a mic drop in the face of current events. The story of Marquis’ coming to terms with his blackness through Tru’s manual (Being Black for Dummies, the show’s subtitle) is edgy, hilarious, and shockingly relevant.
It’s a comedy, but it’s a hell of a lot more.
