The Internet wants it as a Netflix series
With millions upon millions of followers on all the relevant platforms, you’ve probably come across a Humans of New York post in your Internet lifetime. Brandon Stanton’s portraits and accompanying interviews of random people can range from the depressing to the uplifting but, ultimately, they are some of the most compelling pieces of content on the internet.
None more so than its latest subject, a woman with a life story SO compelling that the Internet is demanding something be made of it. The whole thing is amazing, but...
But who actually is she? At the time of writing, the Internet has yet to make any discoveries (but they have speculated that the dancer in question was Anitra Ford). Maybe it’s better this way, legends are often better kept to murmurs rather than birth certificates and social security numbers.
We’re still pining for that Netflix series, though. Janelle Monaé would make a fantastic lead, don’t you think?
