Brown Sugar

Meet Cute
About this episode

This week in “The Rom-Com Room,” Kendra and Mercedes get into one of the best friends-to-lovers rom-coms, BROWN SUGAR. As Kendra puts it, this movie feels like a special club—so we cordially invite you to join us, as the ladies (for the first time) cannot find it in their hearts to ghost anyone in this movie. I mean, Taye Diggs in cable-knit…need we say more?!

If you’d like to submit questions or notes for our hosts, DM us @MeetCute on Instagram and @MeetCuteRomComs on Twitter and TikTok.

You can listen to Meet Cute stories on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
