In the theater though? 
She in it for the love of the game
It’s cool
He dumb for letting her convince him to ditch college to make beats
It always nice to see both sides of Black Los Angeles

She’s so bad that if the show creator wasn’t a black woman, I’d agree with everyone who called them sexist for how she’s written.

I didn't think she was that bad
Dealing w ADHD/neurodivergent kids, sometimes they need a lot of structure. I think she structured his life too much, but she wasn trying to ensure her son's success

Gonna watch. Thanks brehs 
Sure. But they didn’t do much to make her redeeming. Like, they tried with the therapy suggestion for Keisha’s mom but she was basically the villain while Wood Harris was basically the perfect parent.I didn't think she was that bad

She was just over bearing which is not something you see with black mothers on tv

Ultimately her telling Keisha’s mom was a good thing even though it caused some discord.
Parents want to know about that stuff with their children. It’s not up to Keisha to protect her mother

The show definitely painted her a bit of a villain but i do like that she eventually got better by the end.
