Black Boomer Besties from Brooklyn

F*ck Mr. Reiner

Angella Fraser & Leslie Osei-Tutu Season 3 Episode 3

Mr Reiner was one of Leslie’s 5th grade teachers. Rather than encourage this A-student toward a love of learning and achievement, he secretly warned her new best friend’s mother to end the friendship because Leslie would be a bad influence. That was over 50 years ago, and Leslie has proven him wrong to the highest levels, yet his influence is still felt. For Angella, it was her 1st husband who put his sights on belittling her, despite her impressive accomplishments that far exceeded his own.

Haters gonna hate but you get to choose how much you allow the hater-a-tion to take root. Listen in on how The Besties turned things meant for harm to gain self-love and strength.
