From 'Hair Love' to 'Young Love': A Black family's animated TV tale

Sept 12 - When director and writer Matthew A. Cherry started a crowdsourced fund in 2017 for his animated short film "Hair Love," he could not have imagined it would go on to win an Oscar in 2020 and eventually grow into the 2023 Max series "Young Love."

"The kind of relatability of the world even created in the short with no dialogue is very much a continuation of what we tried to present in the series," Cherry told Reuters. Angela, a professional hairstylist voiced by "Insecure" actor Issa Rae, created hair tutorials for YouTube, which Zuri and her dad, voiced by Cherry, watch."Young Love" picks up after Angela's return home from treatment, exploring the life of the multigenerational family in Chicago, where Cherry grew up.
