Acerca de esta escucha

In this captivating and heartwarming romance from award-winning screenwriter Michael Elliot (Just Wright, Brown Sugar) and executive producer Queen Latifah, Oakland-bred LaVeesha “Vee” Gilliam (Coco Jones) is a determined single mother of an autistic son and a gifted aspiring coder. When Vee loses her job as a food-services worker at the onsite restaurant at Grapengine, a large Silicon Valley tech company, she’s unable to pay for her son’s much-needed specialized education. By a twist of fate, mistaken identity, and her tech skills, Vee meets Troy Wilson (Keith Powers), the company’s wealthy founder and CEO and a wunderkind in the tech industry, who believes that Vee is a college-educated techie who works at his company. Fate meets Vee’s raw talent, ideas, and work ethic, and both her career and romance blooms–but what will happen when Vee’s true identity is revealed?

About the Creator

When Essence Magazine compiled their 15 Favorite Black Romantic Comedies of All Time list, Michael Elliot was the only screenwriter with two films listed: Brown Sugar, which is considered a hip-hop classic, and Just Wright, which starred Queen Latifah and Common, and for which Michael won the 2010 NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Writing in a Motion Picture. Michael also wrote the family film Like Mike, which raked in more than $60 million at the box office.
More recently, Michael co-wrote R&B with his partner Cory Tynan. Described as a modern-day retelling of the story of Ruth and Boaz, an iconic Biblical love story, the romance will stream on Netflix in 2025. Additionally, Michael and his partner wrote Relationship Goals, a romantic comedy for Amazon Studios that will also stream in 2025.
When he’s not writing, Michael is an accomplished entrepreneur. Among his successes is Hammer & Nails Grooming Shop for Guys, a luxury men’s grooming lounge, which Michael founded in 2013. Today, the company has more than 40 locations across the country.

About the Performer

Coco Jones has captivated the world with her timeless artistry, sensual voice and emotive songs to become R&B’s breakout artist. In 2024, she was nominated for an impressive five Grammy Awards—including the coveted Best New Artist accolade—and won for Best R&B Performance for her sultry hit “ICU.” She began recording at the age of 9 and was called to acting—first as a recurring guest on Disney’s musical sketch comedy So Random!, and in 2012 as the golden-voiced love interest in the network’s TV movie Let It Shine. Since then, she’s showcased her formidable acting skills playing Hilary Banks in Peacock’s Fresh Prince reboot, Bel-Air and Netflix’s Vampires vs. the Bronx.
Her visibility has made her a role model for beautiful and talented dark-skinned Black women. "I always wanted that representation that my dreams were possible growing up," she shares. Being an actor has given Jones a unique empathy that she translates into music. "It definitely informs my music because I like to tell stories in my songs," she says. "My actor mind will put me right there." This confessional style began making waves with 2018’s “Just My Luck,” a defiant anthem against the entertainment industry (“Does my confidence offend you?” she wonders. “Cookie-cutter enough for you? Is my melanin offensive?”).
She signed with High Standardz/Def Jam in 2022 and released the EP What I Didn’t Tell You with the lead single “ICU,” which has been certified platinum. The song was lauded by fans and critics alike and peaked at #1 on the Billboard R&B Airplay chart, leading to Best New Artist wins at the BET Awards, The Soul Train Awards and NAACP Image Awards.

About the Performer

Keith Powers recently starred in two leading roles in upcoming Netflix films, including Uglies opposite Joey King based on the widely popular YA book, directed by McG. As the largest YA budgeted film Netflix has made thus far the film is poised to be an event film for Netflix with Keith portraying the outlier rebel “David.” Uglies will be released September 13th.
Additionally, Keith also stars in The Perfect Find for Netflix, a May-December comedy romance opposite Gabrielle Union that landed Keith the NAACP Award for Best Actor in a Film. Currently, he can also be seen in Amazon’s Emperor of Ocean Park series.
Keith also adds two exciting independents to his resume with the exciting neo-noir thriller Door Mouse opposite Hayley Law ( Riverdale), directed by up-and-coming director Avan Jogia for Highland Film Group. As Keith continues to take on diverse roles, he co-stars with Michael Richardson, James Badge Dale and Liam Neeson in the surreal New York indie On Our Way.
Keith was also recently seen in the sci-fi thriller The Tomorrow War opposite Chris Pratt, released July 2021 from Amazon, Paramount and Skydance and is well-known for his roles in F. Gary Gray’s Straight Outta Compton, Netflix's anthology series What/If from EP Robert Zemeckis, opposite Academy Award winner Renée Zellweger, and BET’s event series The New Edition Story, which set ratings records for the network with 29 million viewers the week of its premiere. Other credits include Famous in Love and Fear the Walking Dead.
