Join us as we review the first episode of Season 12 of (U.S.) Who Do You Think You Are – Billy Porter. Billy works with Nicka Sewell-Smith, Dr. Christopher Bonner, and Dr. Lauranett Lee to uncover his family history. We give our reaction and commentary about the episode. Don’t forget to give this a “like” and subscribe to our channel!
