*Netflix’s “She’s Gotta Have It” centers on Brooklyn-based artist Nola Darling (DeWanda Wise) and in a memorable scene during the first episode, she experiences a traumatic late-night attack by a toxic male who initiated contact by yelling “Aye, Yo Ma!” and other names at her.
After the attack, Nola is inspired to create street art that shines a light on the persistent catcalling that women endure daily. Netflix is furthering the message with the social media campaign, “My Name Isn’t…”
