The Night Drive is Sexy AF with Numa Perrier of Showtime’s ‘SMILF’

With “Sak Pase, Sexy?” as it’s titled, this week’s Night Drive revs up to talk all about SMILF, a new Showtime comedy that serves as an acronym for single mom I’d like to fuck. In this joyride, Nobi and Embassy try their best to make the ‘F’ bomb more “PG” rated, but as much as they finagle the word, the brilliance of this thought provoking series remains.

Adding more spice to their exploration of “SMILF” is special guest, Numa Perrier, a Haitian goddess who dishes on her rare and remarkable role on the show as “Elise.” Also revealed are details on her Jezebel plans for the SXSW Film Festival in March.

When Embassy takes the wheel, we learn that no celebrity is safe from his camera’s gaze. From provocative Uber ride conversations and hazy 420-friendly rendezvous to swagged out soul crooners on roller skates, Embassy Interactive, feels like a satisfyingly feel-good wave.

In honor of all the sensual drama Perrier will slather on the the February 10th episode, The Night Drive is hosting a very Jersey “SMILF” watch party. To continue the celebration of Osun-vibes Blackness, De Lon also hopes you swing your African medallion at the Black History Month series she’ll spin at NYU’s month-long Black Experience.

It’s only fitting that the restless experimenter • with an ear for soulful beauty • creates a shape-shifting soundtrack of spoken word laced fern-bar R&B and low-key Hip Hop obscurities to sit the entire show’s vibe on. Sak Pase? This sexy AF episode.

Nobi DeLon is a NJ based content creator, writer, educator, DJ, and radio personality obsessed with vintage Black glamour, hip hop, good conversation, reading, self-lovery, and hope. Always evolving, this proud mama of three considers herself most fearless when she is being creative behind a pen, podium or set of turntables.
