Holyghost Homegirl Review of movie “Sinners”

Whew, chile… Ryan did not come to play with us on this one! From the jump, I was locked in—grippin’ my seat, heart thumpin’, eyes wide, tryna process all that richness on the screen. The cinematography alone? Baby, a masterpiece. But it was the energy of the film that had me shook. This wasn’t just a movie—it was a spiritual ride through bloodlines, burdens, and bold-ass truths.

The story centers around this old guitar—haunted, sacred, symbolic—that’s tied to a family tryna break free from a heavy-ass generational curse. And I ain’t talkin’ no lil’ hood curse. I’m talkin’ one soaked in capitalism, lust, greed, gluttony, liquor, and raw, untamed desire. That guitar gave "The Devil Went Down to Georgia" meets ancestry with a twist of blues, corn liquor, and buried secrets.

Now let’s talk about Michael Bae Jordan. This man ain’t just fine—he acted his whole spirit off in this. Two roles. Two fully fleshed-out men. I hope they paid him twice. You could feel it in your bones who was who. He gave duality without confusion. Swagger vs. sorrow. Light vs. darkness. The switch-ups were surgical.

Anytime we see Black folks in a period piece—especially one with layers of mysticism and soul—it reminds me of Lovecraft Country and them old hood-rooted spiritual awakenings. The kind of story that peels back what the world told us we were and reintroduces us to who we really are underneath all the generational grief and survival-mode living. It felt like a call back to self—a message tucked into the madness.

This is the type of storytelling that shows our trauma, yes, but also our power. It’s cinematic Hoodoo. It's ancestral retribution. And it's done right.

Michael gonna snatch every award he’s up for—mark my words. But don’t just go see this movie for the thrills. Go see it to feel something real. To ask yourself:

What are we really being told here?What demons ain't just folklore—but legacy?What chains ain't just physical—but spiritual?

Go watch it. Then come back and let me know:What do you think this film is really sayin’ to us as a people

Saved: A Glow-Up Sermon for the Real Ones

By Lela Robinson | @theArtistLelaAuthor of “Grow Up to Glow Up” and Founder of Glow Girls

If you’ve ever watched a movie and thought, “Wait…this ain’t just entertainment—it’s real life,” then Ryan Coogler’s Sinners probably hit different. Vampires. Racial injustice. Generational wealth. On the surface, it's fiction. But dig deeper, and you’ll see yourself, your family, and your future fighting for survival in a world that sometimes wants to drain us dry.

This blog is for the teens and young adults who know what it’s like to be born in the struggle but built for the spotlight. You're not just trying to survive—you’re trying to break cycles, own your legacy, and glow in God’s light.

💡 Lesson 1: Not Every Vampire Has Fangs

In Sinners, the vampires aren’t just monsters—they’re metaphors. Think about it:

• Predatory lenders = Vampires

• Underfunded schools = Vampires

• Gentrification = Vampires

• Generational trauma = Vampires

• Church hurt? Yeah… vampires too.

The Bible says in Ephesians 6:12, "We wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against powers, against rulers of darkness..."

You’re not fighting random bad luck. You’re fighting a system that was never built for you to win. But guess what? You’re not powerless. You were built for spiritual warfare—and awareness is your weapon.

✨ “You ain’t food. You’re chosen.”

👑 Lesson 2: You’re an Heir, Not a Handout

One of the biggest glow-up truths in the Word?Romans 8:17 tells us we’re heirs—children of God, not victims of systems. That means generational trauma might run in your bloodline, but so does divine inheritance.

Even if your last name doesn’t come with land or a trust fund, your spiritual name comes with power, peace, and purpose.

💬 “The system might’ve failed your family, but you don’t have to fail your future.”

When you realize what God put in you, you’ll stop begging for a seat and build your own table.

🩸 Lesson 3: Kill the Curse. Break the Cycle. Breathe New Blood.

In Sinners, healing didn’t come from garlic or wooden stakes. It came from community, truth, and sacrifice.

Just like that film family had to stand up and fight, so do you.Not with violence—but with VISION.

• You write the new family story.

• You start the healing conversations.

• You build the wealth that wasn’t passed down.

Because of Jesus’ blood, you don’t have to inherit dysfunction—you can pass down destiny.

🔥 You are the cycle breaker your family’s been waiting for.

🙌 Glow-Up Prayer

If this word hit your spirit, pray this with me:

“God, I’ve been hunted by hurt, but I’m stepping into healing.I break every curse that tried to live in my family.I receive every blessing You’ve assigned to me.I’m not a sinner stuck in the system—I’m a glow-getter chosen by You.Help me walk in my light. Help me fight with faith.Amen.”

💅 Final Thoughts: The Realest Glow-Up is Spiritual

Vampires drain you.God fills you.The world tries to steal your legacy.God already wrote it in blood.

You weren’t born to survive in the dark—you were made to shine in the light. You’re not a victim. You’re the glow-inheriting, legacy-rewriting, bloodline-restoring child of God.
