Black History and Culture: A New Conversation—Bonus Episode Explores Untold Stories
Black History Month is a time for reflection, celebration, and crucially, continued conversation. But the rich tapestry of Black history and culture shouldn't be confined to a single month. That's why we're excited to announce a bonus episode of "A New Conversation," a podcast dedicated to exploring the multifaceted narratives and achievements of Black individuals throughout history and in contemporary society. This bonus episode delves deeper than ever before, unearthing untold stories and perspectives often overlooked in mainstream narratives.
This isn't your typical Black History recap; it's an invitation to engage in a deeper, more nuanced understanding of the Black experience. We aim to move beyond surface-level celebrations and delve into the complexities, challenges, and triumphs that have shaped Black communities globally.

Their perspectives provide a powerful connection between the past and the present.
