Once that changes in our society, the things that we create will be far more impactful.” I feel like in all the things that we watch, so many things point towards women not being equal to men, I feel like when people are violated and choose to speak up, they’re attacked. We’re probably going to have more conversations that stem from this piece of art that we created. “So, instead of saying an older man took advantage of a child or a young girl, they’re saying a young woman. “ It feels like rape culture has been normalized by the media,” Robertson articulated. Loss, trauma, activism and mental health aren’t the only topics that Season 3 of Dear White People tackles–there is also an entire storyline that centers #MeToo conversations. Losing her dad is traumatic and it’s probably weighing on Sam, but also it’s what’s pushing her, too.” He’s like, ‘I don’t wish losing a parent on anyone, but it’s very interesting how it changes your perspective on life and how it oddly helps you get through things.’ I think that’s interesting. My brother said this to me the other day. But in Season 3 you notice she is constantly pulled back to it because she isn’t saddened or sickened by it, she’s always just wanting to help. “I think that’s actually a bone in her body, but I think that the trauma that people have placed on her, and the trauma of experiencing being a part of a movement–she has to step away for her sanity. “I think Sam actually has it in her to be a part of the movement forever,” Browning revealed. I think that’s a real thing too.”įor Sam–having lost her father in Season 2–the exhaustion stems from a different source. “I think she’s emotionally exhausted because she takes on what everybody else is going through and suppresses it a little bit. “As far as Joelle is concerned, I don’t think she’s so much dealing with trauma fatigue,” Featherson explained. The burnout is something nearly all of the characters on DWP are battling this season–leading them to analyze various aspects of their identities. I feel like when you’re bombarded with all the negativity of the world, you can just experience emotional burnout.” “Sometimes you really just need a moment to take care of yourself and check-in with how you’re feeling. “I believe there is a thing as trauma fatigue,” Robertson reflected. Ahead of the Season 3 premiere of Dear White People, STYLECASTER sat down to chat with leading ladies–Logan Browning, Ashley Blaine Featherson and Antoinette Robertson to chat about trauma fatigue, why #MeToo is such an important theme this season and some hilarious behind the scenes secrets. They are learning –as many of us did in college–that the true journey is about growth and evolution. When Season 3 opens three months later, all three of the women are in very different places in their lives. When we last left Sam (Logan Browning), Joelle (Ashley Blaine Featherson) and Coco (Antoinette Robertson) they were all facing some very tough truths about themselves. They find the succubus in the house and Julia (Chloe Rose), the daughter, knocks Bo out with a pan.Things are very different at Winchester University this term–and the ladies of Dear White Peopleare happily diving into the juicy details for Season 3. It starts with Clio and Dyson inside the death-crazy-train looking for the succubus and, everytime they say "Bo", the train shakes because someone gets really mad.īo runs through the woods, finding a building and meeting The Jenkins Family. Let's try to recap the episode and to understand what is happening!!! Yes, I'm the real life Lost Girl right now and I need help doing it, so comments are, always, welcome! And Dyson, OH, the wolf is making me angry, so angry! Please don't make me hate him, writers, I really love Kris Holden-Reid! Subtext everywhere and no Kenzi for this one, missed her as well, she is so important to the plot! But you know, they tried to put a Kenzi (ish) to work on the funny quotes, but I still didn't feel it. They got the booty call back on track! I was missing it, yeah, you know, I like it, A LOT, can't deny! And scary (kind of Exorcist scary) ones. Three weeks of craziness! I don't know where the Lost Girl's ideas come from, but you know, as a fantasy show, they're doing an amazing job! “Lovers, Apart” was a real "breathless" episode, with lots of "Whata?!"s and "Really!?"s of the audience during it.
