Feat. My Morpeko defeating Nessa during the league

As a black parent of a 5 year old boy, I’ve begun to notice the lack of shows and movies that are starring kids that look like him.  We have movie night twice a month and I try to find movies starring black kids his age that are positive and fun that he would enjoy.  I must say, it’s very hard to find, even during the holidays.

This really needs to change.  All kids should be represented on television and in movies as the main character.  Children of color, in particular, need to have shows where they can picture themselves as the superhero, detective, the kid doctor, or just a kid in a fun family.  Parents and kids shouldn't have to dig deep to find shows or movies that have kids that look like them.  It would be amazing if there was a kids channel where that they can access at anytime to see children shows and movies where kids like them are the star.
