DJ Ms. Eclectic, host of the vibrant and uplifting show Good Vibes with Ms. Eclectic, took to the red carpet on Monday, October 27 at Look Dine-In Cinemas for the premiere screening of the highly anticipated new coming-of-age drama series G.R.I.T.S. (Girls Raised In The South). The series made its official debut on ALLBLK Thursday, October 30, with new episodes streaming weekly.
The night brought out the stars. Cast members Jasmine Sargent, Ashanti Harris, Aja “Slimeroni” Canyon and supporting cast members walked the carpet with grace, personality, and true Southern-girl flair, alongside the show’s creator Deji LaRay, whose creative vision clearly resonated throughout the screening. The carpet was filled with love, laughter, and authentic Southern energy — the perfect backdrop for a series rooted in identity, perseverance, and sisterhood. It was a star studded night with iconic actress Elise Neal, rising powerhouse Nzinga Imani of Tyler Perry’s Zatima, and so many others showing support for a story that represents real Southern culture and the complexity of womanhood.
The theater buzzed with excitement as attendees settled in — the vibe was supportive, celebratory, and full of life. The screening itself was so well received that it sparked an encore viewing — a clear sign that G.R.I.T.S. is resonating deeply. The series explores adult friendships, grief, ambition, and the pursuit of success, while also celebrating the nostalgia and community of Southern skate culture.
The essence of the night was captured beautifully — the joy, the emotion, and the anticipation for what’s to come. With its honesty, style, and cultural heartbeat, this series is set to make an impact.
Expect a powerful season — and a lot of good vibes along the way. Tune in every Thursday on ALLBLK!
