Happy Black History Month Everyone!!! Here is a short post to get you in the spirit of the month. We all love a great black film, especially the classics. I grew up in the 90’s so 80’s and 90’s classics are my fave. Here are a couple movies that will have you feeling more than proud that you are of African decent with glowy, melanated skin, and a rich culture and history that no one can take away from you! Enjoy these gems and forever remember how important you and your history is to the world.
