Our Kind of People

The show is inspired by Lawrence Otis Graham’s Our Kind of People: Inside America’s Black Upper Class. The show centers on Angela (DaCosta), a Black single mom with a hair care business who decides to move to the elite community of Oak Bluffs on the island of Martha’s Vineyard off the coast of mainland Massachusetts, the largely under-the-radar community of Oak Bluffs is a place where Black members of the ultra-wealthy elite have lived and vacationed for decades.

However, Angela soon discovers a secret about her past that just might change her position and shake up her life and this influential community forever. There’s a thin line between love and hate, and I think these characters are constantly teetering the line back and forth. When she returns, she must deal with her past, family secrets and mean girls, but with a twist.
