Actress and activist Logan Browning joins Holiday AF for an inspiring, heartfelt, and joy-filled conversation with hosts Deborah Joy Winans Williams and MAJOR.. Known for her breakout role in Netflix’s Dear White People, Logan opens up about the artistry, activism, and family values that shaped her — and why her holiday traditions remain so important today.

The conversation dives into her views on social justice, the artists who influenced her, and how the arts became her earliest form of activism. Then comes the rapid-fire Holiday AF game, where Logan reveals her takes on real vs. fake trees, ATL vs. LA, sweet potato vs. peach cobbler, eggnog vs. champagne, tropical vs. snowy Christmases, and board games vs. caroling — including her hilarious disdain for cooked fruit and her competitive streak that once left 17,000 PIT opponents defeated.

Filled with warmth, laughter, reflection, and holiday chaos, this episode shines a light on Logan’s heart, humor, and cultural roots.
