Happy Halloween! A few months ago, when I began racking my brain about what my husband and I would dress up as this year, I had the perfect idea! A Different World is by far my favorite sitcom (I owned the whole series on DVD way before they brought it to Netflix) and I watch reruns every chance I get. The Cosby Show spinoff set at Hillman College, a fictional HBCU in Virginia inspired by Hampton University, showcased the black college experience while shedding light on a variety of notable issues that college students face such as HIV/AIDS, racism, domestic violence, and a number of others. For all you who might not be familiar, here’s a snippet of my favorite show:
Much of A Different World centers around the relationship between Whitley Gilbert, a prim and proper southern belle, and math whiz, Dwayne Wayne. As college sweethearts, I see similarities in Dwayne and Whitley’s relationship and my relationship with my husband. Further, they pioneered relationship goals and for that, they will always be my favorite TV couple. This Halloween, my husband and I transformed into Whitley and Dwayne and I’m so glad we did.
