Persia White on her Girlfriends co-stars: ''That kind of chemistry doesn’t just happen. You can’t fake it.''
Can you fake chemistry? Sure, if you're a good enough actor. However, when the chemistry between actors is real, the production is ten times better. As viewers, we see the bond between Persia White, Golden Brooks, Tracee Ellis Ross, and Jill Marie Jones on Girlfriends. Although the characters (Lynn, Maya, Joan, and Toni) had their fair share of friendship beef, you could tell there was genuine love on the set of the popular '00s series.
"It was really mind opening to see that the chemistry stood the test of time, because I've been on so many shows since Girlfriends ended, and shows before we had that show, and that kind of chemistry doesn't just happen. It doesn't. You can't fake it," White said during an interview with ESSENCE in 2020. The women reunited on Ross's show, Black-ish.

During the interview, White was asked what it was like when she first saw her castmates on set.
"To have us all together, that was the most incredible, strange and nostalgic feeling, but then it also felt like home. I kept telling them, 'This feels so incredible because I'm hearing your voice, and your voice feels like yesterday; so close to me.' We were together for a really formative part of our lives. To go from my 20s to my 30s, like that's your biggest development, especially as an actress. And so you're really growing up together. You're learning the whole industry together."
