In Honor of Juneteenth coming up here’s a thread of Black content to stream.... let’s uplift our Black Creatives during this time. I’m at the point where I only want to stream Black.... black cast,black written,black produced,black directed,etc
TV Shows first:
1. Last weeks Insecure season Finale sparked “The Game” conversation... I lived for Melanie and Derwin’s relationship drama. You can find it on Hulu and CBS if you have a cable subscription. After season 3,BET buys the show and makes a few changes....it’s decent

2.”Awkward Black Girl”, web series created by Issa Rae and she also acts in it herself with a poc cast. It’s hilarious and all 26 episodes are free on You Tube. If you like Insecure you’ll love Awkward Black girl.
3.”Blood & Water”- Netflix original, y’all when I tell you this is my show! The plot is fresh and the cast is South African! The plot is about high school students but the drama is some real shit and the cast is attractive asl. BINGEWORTHY
4. “Queen Sono”-Netflix and another South African crime drama. The main character,Queen, is a bad ass like secret agent she tackles international operations and her crazy personal life. Trust me it’s not as corny as this photo suggests.
5. “Black Lightening”- Netlfix and The CW.... not going to lie I thought the acting/writing was a little 
but I love seeing this beautiful black family portrayed in this show. They tackle some real life issues in their episodes. 3 seasons all on netlfix

This is like the cutest show ever and it features a cute little black boy who discovers he has superpowers after he recently lost his dad. Him and his mother learn to control his new strength all while still learning the basics of growing up
