Are there any films or TV shows that prominently feature carefree black girls?

I was having a discussion with a friend about this. We all know that the whole Carefree Black Girl 'movement' was big online, but has it been represented in film or TV that much?

I know this is an old example, but the only character I could think of was Janie from Harriet the Spy, lol. She was Harriet's best girl friend who was into chemistry and was pretty kooky/quirky. Other than that, I can't really think of any truly carefree/lighthearted black girls in film and TV.

Can y'all think of any?

I can only think of web series, no actual films or TV shows.

eta: this is what happens when TV and film is dominated by white folks. We can't expect accurate/varied portrayals of black women from them, which is why I prefer to support independent black content creators these days.

Lynn on girlfriends was pretty carefree. All of the women on "girlfriends" were carefree but lynn was the most open about it.

V on Shameless(us) is pretty carefree. V once caught a std from a rapper and she thought that left her infertile(it didnt). V is married to kevin but is or rather was in a relationship with svetlana. V is naked a lot of the time and she does webcam work.

The main character in spike lee's girl 6 was a phone xes operator and kind of carefree.

Most of the women on the love and hip hop shows are big skanky hos who will fµck anyone....so that's kind of carefree.

Well, there's Amanita from Sense 8. But she's only half black.

She was dating a trans-woman, a hacker that works in a bookstore, colorful dreadlock and braided hair, alternative sense of fashion.

Same with Guinevere from Merlin BBC. The character was meant to be black, I believe, but the actress is English and Afro-Guyanese:

She was a servant turned queen, smart and caring, can be socially awkward.

What about Poussey from Orange is the New Black?

She was gay, a Librarian, loved books, spoke German. A little dorky.
