QUIP: Happy Friendsgiving! 🦃

It was with bated breath that I waited to watch this much-anticipated documentary over the holidays, and it was so worth it. I had tears, grins, anger, and righteous shade for everything that was discussed and shared. It was beautiful to my history-loving eyes to see the footage and photographs of my people shown throughout this documentary. It hurt my heart to (of course) listen to a lot of the information that I knew. I smiled at learning about the different rodeos across the country that I hadn't known about and wish I had, and wished that I had been privy to visiting because I love me some horsies (*whispers* And seen them brothas pon dem thangs as well!😏). Anyway, I highly suggest this series; it's informative, attentive, and not a dull watch. You will want to throw some bones and fight to protect what has been lost, but it leaves us with hope, something that has been a woven part of our culture and blood memory. Again...check this out. 

RATING: 5/5 Horses🐎🐎🐎🐎🏇
