I just have to say that Alfre Woodard and Gabrielle Dennis put on phenomenal performances in the new season on Luke Cage. When Mariah was showing Tilda around the Family First Building, she told something that really stood out to me for a variety of reasons: “You don’t need to be bullet proof to be a superhero. Black women have always had superpowers. Turning pain into progress, nothing into nurture.”

The scene where Mariah told Tilda the truth about her who her father is/was…. really shook me. 

In my opinion their storyline, as individual characters and together, was one of the strongest aspects of season 2.
