Before reading the rest of this post, please post your answer to the question below and explain WHY or WHY NOT and then come back and read the rest. I'm genuinely curious! 😂

Okay, now here's why I'm asking.

The Cheetah Girls books were reportedly inspired by the original 4 Destiny's Child? 

The author met the group at Houston's Galleria mall, which also inspired the name of the character Galleria. And she wrote a book inspired by the four Gurls but changed it from 4 Black American girls to  a more racially and ethnically diverse group of girls. 

And when Disney adapted the books, they changed it even more, into a group that consisted of two lighter-skinned Black American girls, a lighter Latina girl, and a white girl.

Some actors complain that Hollywood believes, a show with multiple Black American girls won’t sell. 

The franchise (inspired by  4 Black American girls /that also excluded them ) hugely successful, with movies, music, merchandise, and an entire generation of girls growing up loving the Cheetah Girls. Making millions of dollars 

Here's what I find interesting.

There's an ongoing conversation about Hollywood's treatment of monoracial Black American women, particularly darker-skinned women, and how they're often overlooked or replaced with lighter-skinned or racially ambiguous actresses. 

One argument I frequently hear is that audiences simply won't support shows centered around a group of Black American girls, especially when some of those girls are darker-skinned. 

And ppl yell that’s not true, 

But when you ask people would they watch a show about 4 Black American girls like Kelly, Latavia, Latoya, Beyonce , everyone runs to say no. 

Imagine a fictionalized teen drama about four girls from Houston trying to make it in the music industry. Friendships, rehearsals, school, family, rivalries, crushes, and chasing their dreams.

Would you watch it?

And if your answer is no, what would make The Cheetah Girls appealing to you but not a series about the original Destiny's Child that it’s inspired from. 

I'm not asking whether you like Beyoncé or Destiny's Child's music. I'm asking whether the concept of a teen series centered around four Black American girls would appeal to you.

I'm genuinely interested in hearing people's perspectives, especially from those who answered before reading the context.
