In Season Seven of TV Talk we are going to tell you about the best African American movies ever. Some of them were made by AA, while others were only stories that included AA. All of these movies were life changing.
Back when we were kids there were very few African Americans on television. So if it had African Americans in it, you watched it.

As I focus on the big picture right now, I am reminded that there is much to be grateful for because I have been blessed. I have visited new places and had new opportunities. I have met amazing people and taught some folks how to see themselves differently. I can only anticipate what is to come, but I know who guides my future and He is faithful.
I am grateful that God listens to me, but still does what He knows is best. He has taken me on adventures where I have learned to do some new things and meet new people. He has insight into me that I seldom see.
This week I am reminded of more things that I am grateful for: family and friends. I have had the chance to share in adventures with both groups. There is always so much laughter with these people, which the Bible teaches us is good medicine.
Many of the things that were accomplished this year were not even on the goal list I planned for 2023. There were some surprises, some disappointments, but over all I can say I am grateful for everything.
I got to complete a bucket list item in 2023. I got to spend the evening standing at the top of the Eiffel Tower in Paris with my good friends.
Aside from that, I am grateful that He chooses me. Even on days when I don’t choose me. He chooses me.
I am grateful that Jesus is not like me. He is faithful. This year has been a testament to his faithfulness to me.
Thank you, Lord.
Grateful
Feeling or showing an appreciation of kindess, thankful
For the month of November the most appropriate affirmation for me is grateful. This year I have the most to be grateful for because it has been a learning year. My adventures have taken me down new roads and across different paths.
