When it comes to Christmas Classics Jimmy Stewart’s “It’s A Wonderful Life” and “Home Alone” starring Macaulay Culkin may come to mind. With that said, movies like “The Preacher’s Wife” starring Whitney Houston and Denzel Washington or “The Last Holiday” starring Queen Latifah are often not mentioned by some. Well our founder, podcast host, and Christmas enthusiast, Latasha Morrison tackles this subject with Actor / Director / Producer and fellow Christmas enthusiast, Kim Fields. Kim is not only one of the stars of the new Netflix comedy The Upshaws but she too has added to the legacy of multicultural Christmas offerings with her own holiday movie, Lifetime’s “You Light Up My Christmas”. Join us in this discussion covering elements of Kim’s iconic career, her push to create projects that diversify Hollywood’s holiday cheer, and Kim and Latasha’s love of the Holiday season. As a bonus, Latasha chats with Netflix's "Jingle Jangle" producer and author of the Jingle Jangle book series Lyn Sisson-Talbert.
