I feel as though this movie is a prime example, but every one of us has a platform. People wanna hear what we have to say and it is important that in every opportunity that we get, in every song, every movie, every moment, that there’s got to be more to the narrative than just getting crunk. Malco expressed that presence can suffice in some cases, but during a time where black awareness is at a high, everyone should be doing their part to push positivity and the education of Blacks.
“When I was at FAMU I didn’t know anyone in Hollywood or have someone that I could point to and say ‘Hey, I wanna be like him.’ So just being here and interfacing with people that look like them, that have gone into a very challenging industry and are successful, can be inspirational and that’s part of what we want to do,” said Packer. “One of the ways is just by being here and allowing them to see successful people that they the students may not have access to,” said Packer. The cast of “Almost Christmas” spent their weekend as Rattlers at Florida A&M University’s (FAMU) homecoming, to not only promote their new film, but to spread knowledge and advice to students preparing for life after college.Īctors Omar Epps, Romany Malco, DC Young Fly and Executive Producer Will Packer who is also an alumnus of FAMU, joined students in a round-table discussion on Friday, that centered around the elevation of Blacks and how Black Hollywood was contributing to the movement of higher education in the Black community.
