5.0

The synopsis gave a clear indication of some of the things Jake encountered. Yet, I was still intrigued by every interaction he encountered in this storyline. 

I truly appreciate the queer representation, especially Jake being Black. Not to many stories get it right. 

And the Ancestors showing up? YES! 👏🏾


Also, I appreciate the positive friendships that occur as well as Jake finding himself and embracing all that he is! 

His sexuality, his spirituality and his voice!
