When Hulu and Oynx Collective’s “The Other Black Girl” hit the airwaves, audiences weren’t ready for the cornucopia of hairstyling about to infiltrate their screens. How women of color have their hair styled is a direct reflection of their identity. And that was just as important to the leading ladies on the show.
The show stars Sinclair Daniel as Nella, an editorial assistant, who after being the only Black girl at her company, grows excited when she learns a new Black girl named Hazel (Ashleigh Murray) has been hired. But as Hazel’s star begins to rise, Nella spirals out and discovers something sinister is going on at the Wagner Books.
