What’s on your TV playlist this festive season?
For many of us, on the African continent or in the diaspora, this season will involve gathering friends and family, cooking delicious food, speaking in our native tongues for hours on end, and dancing to music that is connected to our roots.
It cannot hurt to begin a tradition of sharing a watchlist of movies, limited series, and shows that celebrate our language, culture, norms, food, intellect, and overall vibrancy.
If you are not sure where to begin, consider these 10 recommendations that are made by African talent. At the end of each, will surely be the beginning of lively conversations!
