## Caption

#PressPlay: #KekePalmer hopped on IG to address backlash over a new series she executive produced for her network KeyTV called ‘Southern Fried Rice.’ The show follows an Asian woman who was raised by a Black family and is now attending an HBCU.
___________________________________
The series is written by its creator, #NakiaStephens, and directed by #ShaylaRacquel.  According to blavity, both are HBCU alums, with Racquel graduating from #FAMU and Stephens #SavannahStateUniversity. Some social users called the concept tone-deaf, while others say it reflects a real experience for many and are excited to see it on screen. #Roomies, what y’all think? 💭 (SWIPE for reactions) ✍🏾: #TSRStaffLG
