Welcome back!! Have you signed up for the FREE 5-Day Manifesting Breakthrough Challenge?! .

It’s that time of year! Christmas movies are here and ready to give us the cheesy, warm & fuzzy, santa-laced entertainment we know and love! Hallmark, Lifetime, and BET+ have several movies with Black lead characters. I’ll be checking Netflix for some as well.

Christmas is a hard time for me. Dealing with the loss of my brother on Christmas day, and the loss of my Gram, our family’s matriarch, makes this time of year painful af. And I have to act like I’m happy and full of Christmas cheer because I have a 9 and 7 year old to create happy memories for.

These holiday movies make this time of year so much gentler. They’re predictable (no shade), comfortable, sweet, and always have happy endings and a lil bit of Christmas magic!

Even better for me when the people on the screen represent me and my family. #RepresentationMatters.

Here are just a few Black Holiday Movies that are on the way this season. (Thank you to EK Dubya for this info!)
