I mean, I love Mariah, and Mariah is phenomenal.

But to a certain degree, you don't get Mariah getting to really become Mariah in the late 90s and early 2000s.

If you don't have Janet breaking down those barriers of what it means to be a sexual and sexy non-white woman in the public sphere.

Hi, I'm Eric.

And I'm Brittany.

And this is for colored nerds.

The weekly show where we peel back the layers of black culture that we rarely discuss in mixed company.

All right, Brittany.

So today, we are about to talk about with Janet Jackson documentary.

Yes.

We know y'all saw it.

And I think that it's fair to say that after seeing it,

we all have a lot of thoughts and a lot of feelings that we need to share.

So this is going to be our family therapy session

for all of us to regroup and discuss the Janet Jackson documentary.

So, like, let's talk a bit about what, like, the promise of this was.

Because they've been hype in this documentary since, like, last year.

I think I started seeing ads for this in, like, September or August.

You may have seen this from Lifetime.

This is my story told by me, not through someone else's eyes.

This is the truth.

Take it or leave it.
