In the dramedy "Single & Thriving… Kind Of," Brooklyn transplant Cassandra navigates her late 20’s with humor and heart, juggling the quest for love and career success while confronting the pressures of social media and Corporate America.
Single & Thriving... Kind Of is an 8-episode dramedy that follows Cassandra (Cass), a vibrant and sometimes chaotic Brooklyn transplant in her late 20’s, as she navigates love, career, and the journey to self-discovery. Between swiping left and right, hustling at a corporate job that often feels more like a battlefield, and trying to hold it together through self-doubt, uncertainty, vulnerability and all the highs and lows of a human life, Cass is caught in the messy, hilarious, and sometimes heartbreaking reality of being a Black woman in today’s world.

Through Cass, the show explores the pressures of time, the distorted standards of social media, and the weight of systemic racism in corporate America, all while shining a light on how these forces impact Black love and the mental and emotional well-being of young Black men and women. But it’s not all heavy—this is a show that celebrates Black joy, Black love, and Black friendship. With wit, humor, nostalgia and plenty of heart, Single & Thriving... Kind Of offers a refreshing, authentic look at what it means to truly grow into yourself while thriving and struggling at the same damn time!
