About Season 6 of The Chi: This season, life in THE CHI reverberates between the highest highs and lowest lows. Big dreams are finally realized but at a cost and everyone will be tested in unimaginable ways as they calculate the risks and rewards of their next big move. Emmett (Jacob Latimore) and Kiesha’s (Birgundi Baker) blissful blended union is tested by his insatiable drive to expand Smokey’s and a new perilous partnership, while Kiesha finally races toward a rewarding new career. Douda (Curtiss Cook) deals with the fallout of Q’s murder and its effect on the shifting loyalty of his inner circle. Victor’s (Luke James) bold declaration of love for both his new girlfriend and his beloved community will impact his political ambitions. Happily married Jada (Yolonda Ross) mentors Emmett and her besties as they navigate relationships. Kevin (Alex Hibbert) is becoming a brilliant master gamer but struggles with the youthful pitfalls of early independence. Jake (Michael V. Epps) launches a new business, and Papa (Shamon Brown Jr.) falls for an older woman while questioning his faith. What will become of their pursuits will be revealed over the course of this season’s sixteen jaw-dropping episodes.
About The Chi on SHOWTIME: On Chicago's south side, an average day finds kids prepping for school as their parents head off to work, young adults trying to make a living, and the elders keeping an eye on things from their front porches. But in this tough neighborhood, real dangers threaten daily to squelch dreams, and the simplest decisions can have life or death consequences. From Emmy® winner Lena Waithe, The Chi is a timely coming-of-age drama series centered on a group of residents who become linked by coincidence but bonded by the need for connection and redemption.

[@shellafrancois4888]

There are far too many 'Bakari's' in this world... no guidance, but more sadly..no love. Never having been loved or protected by a parent, leaves one cold and always ready to defend themselves, because there is no one there to protect them. The scenes where Jemma hugs him, or when Papa's dad tells him he's a part of the family... his face shows how he's amazed by these small acts of kindness - its foreign to him. To love someone, you first need to know love...

[@wyntonmohorn]

Papa & Bakari is the friendship we never knew that we needed, but we most definitely deserved. 👑👑

[@tracynorman2322]

bakari is going to make sure he avenges papa's dad.
