(WARNING: A FEW SPOILERS AHEAD)
If you’re a fan of “Dear White People,” it’s pretty clear that while the entire cast is stellar, Ashley Blaine Featherson’s Joelle is a fan favorite. But a huge complaint about season one of Justin Simeon’s hit Netflix show was that Joelle was more a sidekick than an actual fleshed out character.
But no worries! In season 2, Joelle gets her own episode and trust me when I say…it’s everything! The amazingly written and acted episode addresses colorism, hoteps, self-esteem and dating. And from the looks of it, folks on Twitter are absolutely loving it.
Take a look at the praise Featherson is receiving not just for episode 5, but for her amazing performance throughout the entire new season.
