Keisha Mahrez had a... weird start. Abandoned by her birth mother and father, with no birth certificate or anything tying her to her her biological beginnings, she was picked up by, then, small time thug, Dre Mahrez and his, then, girlfriend, Tanya. They adopt the girl and decide to raise her as their own. Obviously, Keisha is not their own and that fact is more vivid because, well, Dre and Tanya are as black as it gets. Proper street raised niggas, and Keisha is as white as it comes.

But that all stops at skin level.

Beyond that, home girl considers herself as black as it gets. From the language, to the attitude and even to the affiliations. Keisha has never seen herself as anything but black. And with a strong support system from her parents and friends, she's never really cared otherwise.

Enter Dinah Pryce. Black, beautiful, sassy and straight. Keisha's "blackness" and charm throws her for a loop she can't seem to resist. Living with a grandfather who cant seem to let go of the "old days" of open racism, coupled with her own tendency to over analyse things... well, you can only imagine how much she nitpicks at the "nigga speaking", corn-rows-wearing white girl who can't seem to understand the meaning of the words, "Straight" and "Cultural appropriation".

Two girls with two different views, drawn in to each other by something they can't really define. It becomes a question of, "What's colour got to do with it?"
