Idris Elba is the executive director of a new series titled "Milk & Honey". The series was created by Elba, Asha May, Debbie Allen, Lance Gross and others to showcase diverse images of women of color, something we DESPERATELY need on the big screen and small screen. It has an all black cast and the production company (Brown Paper Dolls Company) consist of HBCU graduates.
Check it out and tell me what you think.

Looks interesting, right?
Here's the problem and here's why Idris Elba needs our help.
The series has yet to be picked up by a television network. Elba, along with the production team and cast are attempting to get ONE MILLION VIEWS of the trailer to show network execs that there is an interest in THIS type of show.
Board of Directors, let's do our part by spreading the word and making sure this series gets picked up-not just by any network......but by a MAJOR network.
If we want to rid ourselves of the negative images we see on television, it's going to take a ground roots effort by the people.
Let's make it happen by sharing this on Facebook, twitter, blogs and any other social media outlet we can.
