In each episode we’ll dive into aspects of our identities and will engage in conversation on what it’s like navigating life as a Black millennial. There will be plenty of laughs, cultural colloquialisms, and guests who will be able to provide more to the conversation.Hopefully you'll grow with us and we'll grow with you!
