Black Folk Don't show's poster

Do Plastic Surgery

'Black Folk Don't...' is an open conversation that invites everyone to take a second look at the grey areas between us all, no matter the race, and most importantly to do it with a sense of humor.

Do Plastic Surgery

Season 3 Episode 3 | 8m 32s

Is plastic surgery relevant for black folk? If so, what kinds of surgery do black folk get? Join the folks from Cali as they contemplate if "black don't crack"; including commentary from West Coast favorites Norwood Fisher of Fishbone, actress Lisa Gay Hamilton, and acclaimed filmmaker Ava DuVernay! This episode has sensitive language. Presented by Black Public Media and directed by Angela Tucker.
