In this episode, we will revisit and reframe significant moments from Black pop culture history where Black women artists have utilized their platforms, mediums, and personal experiences to advocate for justice. From Carrie Mae Weems' Kitchen Table series to Ntozake Shange's For Colored Girls, we aim to highlight how Black women artists amplify the voices of the unheard and bring visibility to the realities that the white world often chooses to overlook. We are excited to have our special guest, Bobbi Booker, guiding us on this tour. Bobbi is a Philadelphia-based audio architect, radio personality, and cultural journalist.
