Damaged Goods is a digital series centered around the messy and complex lives of four millennials of color attempting to thrive and survive in Chicago. Caleb (Chufue Yang) is a genderqueer club kid who struggles to find his self worth in the nightlife scene. Sanavi (Aashvi Patel) is a confident professional who discovers discrimination in her white-dominated workplace while trying to dismantle the “boys club.” Marlo (Abena Boamah) is a wellness social media influencer who finds it easier to care for others than for herself. Ezra (Nosakhere Cash-O' Bannon) is an aspiring artist, selling weed to support himself. 

Executive-produced by Sam Bailey and Fatimah Asghar, creators of the acclaimed Brown Girls, Vincent Martell's new series focuses on a gritty creative community rarely depicted onscreen. Through nuanced writing and sensitive performances, Damaged Goods examines the lives, loves and labors of its characters with humor and tenderness. Watch the trailer.
