Karma's WORLD On Netflix is a Provocative And Entertaining Series

Review by nZinga Austin

Karma's World is another African American character on Netflix.  My father asked "are there any more Black cartoons on Netflix?" 

This animation reminds me of Motown Magic because it has music in the cartoon.  Ludacris, the hip hop star turned actor is the creator of this cartoon.  I don't know this show that well but Karma Grant, is one of the main characters in the show and also her brother Keys Grant.
