Revenge of the Black Best Friend is a comedic series that follows Dr. Toni Shakur, a self-help guru with a message for the film and tv industry: the time for creating token Black characters has come and gone. She delivers that message by any means necessary and battles against stereotypes like the sassy Black girl, the superhero sidekick and of course, the one who dies first. She is the guru Black actors have been waiting for and the warrior the industry has long feared. But Dr. Toni Shakur is also faced with a question: what happens when you turn a social justice issue into a very profitable brand?
