Celebrating Black Maternal Health Week #BMHW25

Still, hasn't the movie industry made a good 4th of July film since 1996???

In addition to seeing "Independence Day" as often as I like, I can also watch the Home Shopping Network, and its many spin offs, in English and Spanish. So many channels. So few things that I actually want to watch!
