Freeform is taking a #MoreThanAMonth approach to Black History Month.
What We Know:
- Even though February is over, Freeform wants to continue to celebrate the rich and multicolored definition of Blackness, ultimately clocking more than 63K Instagram views over the course of 6 weeks.
- According to theGrio, in the original Freeform series Black People Like…, Freeform invited a crew of actors, comedians, writers, and influencers including Ira Madison III, Hayley Marie Norman, Moni Oyedepo, Ify Nwadiwe, Chanelle Graham, and Willie Macc to explore what “Blackness” meant to them and how the world challenged their definitions when they fell in love with some stereotypically “non-black” things.
- “This series is about bringing people together. Through the sharing of personal stories in an open dialogue, we explore topics not commonly associated with black culture,” Freeform explained.
- “We spend so much time in society talking about why we are different and not enough focus is spent on what connects us. This show is about the fact that all people find enjoyment in life and we want the world to know that black people are no different in that way. It’s inspiring, educational, and funny.”
