Jumping The Broom Naija Style – Win a DVD!

If you’re an avid reader of BellaNaija, you must know how much we love weddings! In Africa, and indeed for our distant relatives – African-Americans – a wedding is not only the union of two people, but also of their families.

The movie Jumping The Broom brings the humour, heartbreak and warmth when two African-Americans, one lower class and one bougie (bourgeois) meet each other’s families for the first time right before their wedding. The couple of six months begins to question their decision to ‘jump the broom’ against a backdrop of family secrets.
