AboutWhat does the meme depict?

The 'Me Explaining to My Mom' meme features a two-panel image macro. The first panel shows Quenlin Blackwell captured in an emotional moment, appearing distressed or crying. The second panel displays Ms. Juicy, a cast member from the reality TV series 'Little Women: Atlanta', generally shown with a nonplussed or skeptical expression. This juxtaposition illustrates a conversational scenario where someone, typically depicted by Blackwell, is passionately explaining or arguing something to a seemingly unconvinced parent, depicted by Ms. Juicy.

OriginWho did it first?

The meme originated from a post on Twitter (now X) by @quenblackwell on March 14th, 2018, featuring a video of herself expressing frustration. This post quickly garnered significant attention. YThe next part of the meme's origin traces back to January 12th, 2019, when Ms. Juicy shared an Instagram post depicting herself relaxing on a couch, with a caption reflecting her relaxation after a long day and a workout. Later that year, @lilr0use from Twitter (now X) took a screenshot from Quenlin Blackwell's video and tweeted using it to express anxiety caused by memes and the need for a psychologist. Finally, the definitive meme format was established a few days after by @sxturnsailor from Twitter (now X), who paired the two images, labeling them 'child' and 'parent' and expressing the necessity of attending a social event.^[1]
