BET on Love: The Love Stories of Bob Johnson, Sheila Johnson, and Debra Lee

In honor of the recent awards, I wanted to look at the three people that have basically built and contributed to what Black Entertainment Television has become throughout the last forty plus years: Robert L. Johnson, Sheila Johnson, and Debra Lee. We will look at their lives before BET, the impact the channel held on their personal relationships, and how they were affected then and now.

TW: abuse, fertility issues, domestic violence
