The Cherry Picks: The Women of "Harlem". A discussion with the creator, actors, and costume designer

Streaming now on Prime Video, Harlem is a show you don’t want to miss…

This series from EPs Tracy OliverAmy Poehler, and Kim Lessing focuses on four best friends living in the titular iconic epicenter of Black culture. Camille (Meagan Good) is an adjunct at Columbia University, Tye (Jerrie Johnson) is the founder of a dating app for LGBTQ people of color, Quinn (Grace Byers) is an aspiring fashion designer who lives off of her ample trust fund while her boutique business teeters on the brink, and Angie (Shoniqua Shandai) is a struggling yet talented singer "temporarily" crashing on Quinn's couch. These innovative, aspiring women are turning the corner into serious professional lives while remembering to have each other's back in this mix of drama, romance, and laughs.
