As American history is being retold and reshaped to be more complete in telling the story of African Americans, this show is a part of changing the narratives that have sought to place our story in one little box.
We conduct guest interviews and explore current events, mental health, political science, the arts, history and many more topics to expand the view that many have about African Americans. We highlight the fact that African Americans are no more monolithic than any other demographic.
