Everyone knows that on line dating is scary, difficult, in a word - trash! Now add being a black women to that scenario and it seems almost impossible. After reading their aunt’s journal about a steamy, love affair with an old Hollywood actor (which had to be made up, right?) Leva and Sky set out to create an app that will allow women to date the man of their dreams. But is it enough?
Celebrity Dream Date is a hilarious journey to finding, or should I say redefining, true love.
