Selah And The Spades
The film centers around a 17-year-old black female, Selah (Lovie Simone). She’s an A student who captains a spirit squad, and doesn’t have sex, but these things don’t make her a good girl. Good girls don’t deal drugs, and Selah is not only an experienced dope pusher at the prestigious boarding school she attends somewhere outside Philadelphia – she also runs a tight ship. Making certain the Spades are the most dominant school clicks or what they call “factions” around campus. There is a tenuous truce between Selah’s Spades and the other factions, which often hints of an interesting backstory from their sophomore year.
