This is another re-airing of a BHM podcast that I recorded with my sweet friend, and one of the most incredible activists that I've seen in the influencer space. Tiffany is such a wonderful person inside and out and getting to speak with her about who she is, and all of the intersectionalities of her identity will forever be one of my favorite conversations.  I learned SO much from her, and I continue to marvel at her and how she uses her platform to do so much good for her communities.  Follow Tiffany on IG: @tiffanyturnermoon Follow Behind The Filter on IG: @behindthefilterpod Follow Patrick on IG: @patrickweaverblog Influential Black Americans featured: Kamala Harris Hattie McDaniel Lyda Newman
