I Think I Might Be In Love
Adeola and Jade have been dating for a while now, and things have been going great. On a beautiful summer afternoon, Jade surprises Adeola with a romantic picnic, which leads to an honest conversation about where their relationship is going and what this all means.
'I think I might be in Love' is a heartwarming story of young love between two black women."Love is the easiest thing in the world when it happens by accident, but it doesn't get real until you do it on purpose."- what does that mean when it no longer exists in a vacuum? At a point being with the one you care about, opens the relationship to criticism and opinions of the outside world. For Adeola who comes from a very religious, traditional household, this brings a lot of fear and uncertainty.
