I started this petition because while I loved the character Jolene in The Queen's Gambit, I mostly hated her portrayal.  Jolene is wonderfully acted by breakout star Moses Ingram. "The Netflix series, which currently ranks high in the streamer's Top 10, is earning overwhelmingly positive reviews for its compelling tale about a chess prodigy struggling with addiction. But the show blunders when it comes to Beth's (black) childhood friend Jolene, whose backstory and character development are so limited that she seems to exist merely to make Beth's life easier" (Washington Post)  

This is a common narrative in so many stories and if we are going to tackle the scourge of white supremacy and racism, we have to flip the script on this narrative.  It would be so inspiring if Jolene were to have her own show where she too could self-actualize and shine ... please sign this petition to signal to Netflix that we would like to see this more of this beloved character, to learn more about her story, to witness her challenges and growth.
