  • A much needed history lesson

    These episodes share the lore that brings a certain realness to the seemingly fictional magic that is “Atlanta”. The connecting lines that build the web of our cultural experience; a very necessary historical documentation of Atlantas’ essence. A celebration of legacies and contributions to the diaspora. Very entertaining and enlightening tale sharing from the city’s most lauded griots. Can’t recommend enough. This honestly could be someone’s core curricula
