“ … But The Old Broom Knows The Corners”
A saying that honors Elders, Knowledge and Wisdom (knowledge applied).
WARNING: Discussion of r*ape and m*rd*r
This is an essay I wrote in 2021 after watching Michaela Cole’s series “I May Destroy You” which aired on HBO. The one-season series chronicles Cole’s character’s attempts to rebuild her life after being r*ped at a night club.
In commenting on this show, I include some of my thoughts on another HBO show headed by a Black woman writer/protagonist, Insecure by Issa Rae.
