The Netflix movie “Step Sisters” started streaming Jan. 19 and it’s racking up a lot of cheers and jeers. The movie revolves around Jamiliah, an African-American “Philly girl” from Harvard graduate parents looking to help a group of white sorority members retain
their charter by secretly teaching them step routines. Some movie fans are calling foul on a film with white people performing step routines which are rooted in various African traditions. Tribune Digital Editor Nicki Mayo talks with “Step Sisters” writer/executive
producer and Delaware native Chuck Hayward about cultural appropriation 101 and how this film focuses more on cultural exchange and race relations on college campuses.
