The Godfather of Harlem 

The Godfather of Harlem is one if not the most gangsta shows on television. It shows the inside life of Bumpy Johnson and his relationship with Malcolm X.

Even though he is a full-time gangsta, he still makes it his mission to help Harlem and its people live better lives. Your eyes will be glued to the television, and you’ll be craving for more. 

Where to watch: EPIX

Beyonce has already told us that girls run the world, which is just what this show is all about! Within the show, you are bound to find at least a few situations you can relate to as a Black woman. This series is sexy, fun, and full of Black women enjoying the luxuries of life!
