Family Meeting
One Brooklyn family, fifteen strong — the dinners, the holidays, and the spades table where nobody forgets anything. First the films. Now the cartoon.
The opening
How every episode begins. Learn the names — there will be opinions.
The original Family Meeting intro — the cartoon opens the same way.
Meet the Family
Fifteen chairs. Everybody has a role, and everybody has something to say.
Donnell
Calls the meeting to order. Usually wins. Usually.
Linda
The center of the portrait and the family. Nothing starts till she sits down.
Kema
Hand on hip, opinion loaded. You will hear it, and she will be right.
Nekqwa
Calm on the surface. Keeps the receipts nobody knows about.
Corey
Easy stance, easy laugh — until the cards come out.
Chunky
Yes, that Chunky. The spades table has a long memory.
Shadera
Runs her own branch of the family like it's a small country.
Janiyah
Leather jacket, combat boots. The family’s edge, with a heart under it.
Londyn
Lavender and braids. Quiet until the exact right moment.
Chance
The grin gives him away. He is up to something, always.
King
Named for how he carries himself. Calm like he already knows.
Chunky Jr.
A miniature of his father, down to the tracksuit. The sequel nobody ordered.
Marlei
The biggest grin in the family. Front row, every time.
Michael
Glasses, locs, and the look of a kid who reads the room better than the adults.
Miro
The baby of the family, ruling from Grandma’s lap.
