OPENING SCENE:

INT. ANT’S LIVING ROOM – DAY

Antoinette is sitting in her robe, sipping her manifestation tea, journaling her goals out loud:

ANTOINETTE
“Make six figures. Create my show. Meet Oprah. Buy mama a house. Lose fake weight and fake friends.”

Suddenly, her phone blows up with texts and calls.

SCENE 1: The Haters Group Chat – “Concerned Cousins”

INT. COUSIN KEISHA’S HOUSE – GROUP CHAT LIVE

Cousin Keisha, Aunt Bootsy, and Fake Friend Felicia are gathered around the phone, sipping soda and hate.

KEISHA
“Look at her. She done started another business. Didn’t she just sell candles last week?”

FELICIA
“She always doing too much. I mean, I support her… but I ain’t never bought nothin’.”

AUNT BOOTSY
“She think she better than us since she left the block. All I’m saying is—Jesus stayed local.”

They all cackle.

SCENE 2: The Success Parade – Antoinette’s Dreamland

INT. RC GALAXY – ANT’S MIND

Antoinette imagines her future — stage lights, trophies, interviews, Tyler Perry hugging her.

Suddenly, the haters pop up in her imagination — as CLOWNS in oversized shoes, trying to grab her mic.

CLOWN KEISHA
“Umm, remember when you borrowed my flat iron in 10th grade? You owe me a shoutout!”

CLOWN FELICIA
“You forgot me when you leveled up! I’m the reason you even wore lashes!”

ANTOINETTE (in her dream)
“Y’all were allergic to my growth. God prescribed distance.”

Mic drop.

SCENE 3: Family BBQ – The “Nice-Nasty” Stageplay

EXT. FAMILY BBQ – EVENING

Antoinette shows up glowing, peaceful, and confident. She brings vegan ribs to the cookout.

UNCLE DARRYL
“Vegan? Girl, you used to eat pig feet!”

AUNT BOOTSY
“Mmmhmm. Miss Hollywood too good for neck bones now.”

KEISHA
“Y’all, she write movies now. Probably gonna make one about us.”

ANTOINETTE
“Oh don’t worry, I already did. It’s called Jealousy & Jesus. Premieres on Queenflix next week.”

Silence.

ENDING SCENE: THE MESSAGE MOMENT

Antoinette breaks the 4th wall and looks at the camera.

ANTOINETTE (to viewers)
“Sometimes the people closest to you will pray for your downfall in public — and cheer for it in private. But guess what? Shine anyway. Laugh anyway. Level up anyway. Don’t wait for their support. Be your own damn parade.”

Music fades in: “I’m Every Woman” mixed with trap drums.

CLOSING TAGLINE:

“Success ain’t for the weak — or the jealous.”
