We need more of this show. Love it
An amazing platform giving a voice to Black families. Excellent production & easy listening.
Fighting racism with racism, fire with fire. Unbelievable
I wish the presenter would stop trying so hard to sound like what she’s saying is not scripted when her terrible acting skills prove otherwise. Just freestyle and keep it real. You’re not an actress. When I hear the Abraham Zalunga I fast forward or switch to another podcast. But the content of the show gets 5 stars otherwise.
This podcast is absolutely amazing! It successfully provides a peek into the diversity of the Black experience. Some days I cry while listening, or laugh hysterically, either way, I feel so seen thanks to these stories. Keep em coming! 👏🏾🤎
