TAKE A SEAT, is a weekly, half-hour audio podcast that discusses the intricacies between<br />people of color and the arts/humanities. We discuss the success of POC artists in white or<br />male-dominated fields and the struggles they faced on the road to achieving their dreams.<br />We focus on the difficulties and successes that come with higher education and career<br />aspirations and illustrate the struggles that come with entering fields dominated by our white<br />counterparts and how we, as People of Color, need to overcome systemic barriers in order<br />to succeed. We interview up-and-coming artists and college students in fields our<br />production team and audience are interested in.
