Okay, we know who's not
making the toast at the wedding.
Where's your ring, anyway?
Oh, um, I'm getting it cleaned,

Marriage is a true partnership.
Nothing like it.

Put something in, yeah.

Right, but to be clear, he invested in it.
So what's your position exactly?
You know, I'm tapped into the youth.
I'm overseeing operations.
Not the overseer.
Well, look, I already have a few leads in LA
to stores that are willing to carry the brand, okay?
But first, we just need new merch.
All right?
Brighter colors.
Uh, well, the black and white is pretty thematic,
and the focus is more than just merch.
So why don't you try reading the business plan?
Okay, but we are open to ideas, right?
Yes.
Great, great, because I actually
took the liberty of scratching out
that cheesy-ass crown graphic.
I mean, look, Blackccess--
the strength is in the name.
Yeah, we know.
We named it.
Look, I think that the design is fine, right?
So why would we fuck with something
that's already working?

Not at all.
Just for a second.
For a second.
[laughter]
Hey, baby.
Hey, Ma.
You know, watching Jazz today put his feelings aside
for someone he loves-- - Mm-hmm?
Just reminded me,
maybe I should do the same.
Baby, I am--
I'm happy.
I know you are. I know.
I just didn't know you was out here in the streets like that.
I didn't know that, Ma. That's new information.
- Come on, of course. - [laughs]
Come on, I'm still young, vibrant and sensual.
Oh, not too much, not too much.
Not too much, please, not too much.
[laughs]
I guess I kept my dating private because I've always
wanted to be sensitive about bringing men into your life
that weren't gonna stay.
That talk you made me have, though, it helped.
I was carrying a lot of baggage too.
But we need to just live our lives.
Oh.
Oh, so this is my fault?
Somehow it's my fault. - [laughs] No.
Like it or not, you have a way
of bringing people together, son.
It's a gift.

Ahh!
Whoo! - Yo.
You're not gonna fucking believe this.
Calm down, man. What's going on?
Okay, so Mrs. Bassett emailed,
and that Princeton alum said
he was so impressed by the work I've been doing
with Blackccess all summer.
Yo, check it out.
"Your journey and how you overcame things
"is the perfect comeback story that colleges respond to."
Look at that.
Blackccess opening up doors, huh?
Now I need you to be open to something.
Look, I know how to bring people together,
and I know we can work through this.
I'm not gonna miss out on real potential
just because of some bullshit history between us.
I'm willing to take my emotions out of the equation
if we can keep Blackccess going.
So what are you proposing?
That we approach decisions like a team.
And we never lose sight of the real mission--
opening doors for people who look like us.
If you can fuck with that, then we're good.
I think I can fuck with that.
Yo, these colleges are gonna eat this shit up.
Yeah.
A'ight then.
So we go into senior year strong.
- Mm-hmm. - Check this out.
We can use our new capital to partner with nonprofits
that align with our mission.
Maybe we can get-- even get BSU involved.
Mm.

We're gonna own a mall.
