Lastly on this last day of #Pride and for #BlackFriday, I want to shout out my big brothers Quincy and Deondray Gossfield. They are the masterminds behind #TheDLChronicles, the 2nd #Black#Gay TV series created. They have been pioneers along with Patrick Ian Polk in getting black, queer stories on TV. Their other works include "The Chadwick Journals", "Congo Cabaret", & "Smoke, Lillie's & Jade." They are currently the Producing Directors of this upcoming season of The Chi.
