Web Series Highlight: Snowboarder Gabby Maiden Gets Black & Sexy TV Mini-Movie


A few years ago we introduced you to "Afropunk Royalty" Gabrielle 'Gabby' Maiden.  Gabby is dubbed the first African American Woman of Competitive Snowboarding (Black History Month Fact #1 of 2017). When Gabby isn't shredding down mountains, she is actively modeling and acting. Over the past two years, she's shown off her talent by playing the character Farrah on the Black & Sexy TV produced webseries "Sexless." In "Sexless," Farrah and her friends explore complicated dating, trails of love, celibacy and sexuality (no spoilers, watch the first season here). In the season 2 finale, Farrah succumbs to online dating via the platform "Hello Cupid" ( based on another B&S TV webseries). Hence, Farrah is getting her own self-titled Hello Cupid mini-movie and it is premiering just in time for Valentines Day.

According to the synopsis, "FarrahBear in these Hello Cupid streets looking for love in all the wrong places." In the trailer, Farrah is seen skateboarding down the streets of L.A. and interacting with potential love interests. 

Check out the first 15 minutes of the mini-movie below!

You might remember Joy Bryant from the movies Antwone Fisher and  Get Rich or Die Tryin. Well this Bronx native is not only gracing the catwalk and movie screens but also getting her "shred on." Joy is now a contributor for Burton Women's lifestyle blog and a mentor for the Stoked Mentoring Program, which reaches out to inner city youth through action sports. Stoked teaches urban youth necessary skills for life, "goal-setting, overcoming obstacles, trust, communication, and respect," through snowboarding, skateboarding and surfing. 

Watch Joy talks about her experience as a Stoked mentor.



Though featured on the NBC sitcom "Parenthood," Joy finds time to  hit the slopes and advance her snowboarding skills. This season she hopes to do more tree runs and have more patience.
