CW’s ‘Tom Swift’ Acknowledges Black Nerds and Highlights Black Wealth

CW’s ‘Tom Swift’ Acknowledges Black Nerds and Highlights Black Wealth.
There’s Black wealth and there’s Black generational wealth.
There’s living in a mansion and living in a manor.
These are the heavy distinctions that represent the Swift legacy.
In the new CW series Tom Swift, the Swift family comes from a dynasty of entrepreneurs who know their tech and solve problems.
Imagine having unlimited resources and unimaginable wealth — this is the world of the Swifts.
The show explores the lives of the Swift family, which is comprised of the titular character Tom (Tian Richards), his cousin Zenzi ( Ashleigh Murray ), his adopted brother Lino (Donovin Miller), and their bodyguard Isaac (Marquise Vilson) — who safeguards the team during their series of adventures.
Each episode is “mission-based,” and expect to see shoes involved as well.

The pilot episode of Tom Swift aptly titled “…And the Liftoff to Saturn” opens with a narration by Richards, who says, “We’re not nerds, we’re Black nerds.” It took everything in me not to jump up and down with every fiber of my being hearing a fictional character acknowledge both his Blackness and nerdiness in the same breath.
