Eastenders: Denise Has Lost Her Mind!

My mind almost exploded watching Denise breaking up with Kush today. And here I thought watching her pick through the bins was bad enough.

Girl, how are you going to break up with a gorgeous, kind man because you don’t want to tell him you are broke? What woman would do that?  

It doesn’t make her look sympathetic. In fact, it makes her look pathetic.

That makes no sense! Before I’d picked through bins for food, I would’ve found a job somewhere even if it was part-time. She should have taken the cleaning job to get some money in her pocket. She could have asked Vincent for a job. 

I’ve seen too many women, especially Women of Color (my perspective), work more than one job to make a way. I just can’t buy into this vision of Denise. It doesn’t make her look sympathetic. In fact, it makes her look pathetic.
