DONYALE LUNA SUPERMODEL

HBO Original Max

When we look back at the first Black Supermodel, many of us think of Beverly Johnson;

however, in HBO's Donyale Luna Supermodel, we are introduced to the first, who covered Harper's Bazaar Magazine, was in a number of campaigns, shot by leading photographers, and jetsetted throughout Europe when she realized that making it here in the US as a Black woman from Detroit wouldn't be a reality for her.

She lives a life as a model and creative who simply wanted to find a place that she could call home, be accepted, and shine in her own skin. Throughout the documentary we learn about her life, her iconic poses, and luminaries in the industry talk about those who opened doors for her as well as those that kept it shut. The importance in reclaiming this history so that more can be aware of her story is one that we truly enjoyed in this documentary.

LOVE IS BLIND

Netflix Series Netflix

We love a good social experiment and we're back in the pods for the 5th season of Netflix's Love is Blind, we see another round of those who are looking to find their match without seeing one another. They're able to date in pods, talk about their interests, and what a life would be like together, and then if they get engaged, they only see each other when they accept!

Afterwards, they go on a vacation where all the couples are able to begin their lives and then they go

home so that they can see whether they can continue to be with one another as well as to meet their families. In the end, they will see if love is blind if they end up getting married and avid viewers of the show always like seeing the after show as well as another episode that shows what happened with those involved! It kicks off on Sept 22nd with initial episodes and over the 3 week period, additional episodes will be available on Fri.

When you go to a trusted OB-GYN at Columbia University, you expect a higher level of care. But hundreds and possibly thousands of women were allegedly assaulted by Dr. Robert Hadden and although many tried to be heard, it seemed like he

wouldn't be held accountable until the survivors engaged in a decade-long fight for justice.

Medical journalist Laura Beil shares their stories, what they endured, the cover-up, and how the women got their power back.
