Season 1
Initially, we see Drea explain the purpose of this documentary, and how all of the unnecessary production equipment was provided by Kenya. He did this because of his goal to spend every bit of his money before he dies. At the Four Seasons Sunday Brunch, we learn that not too long ago, Kenya came into some money after creating a TV show about a black family, a couple movies about black people, and the one reality show he did with black super model Tyra Banks. Everything he's ever done has been black stuff. Drea hilariously describes him as a "racial profiteer". The reason for the brunch is because the Barris family is celebrating Kenya's new Netflix show, "#blackAF".
