Bowman's Friends is a podcast created to connect and inform UK students of issues, events, and cool stuff on campus and the Lexington area. It is hosted by UK students, for the UK community. Our goal is to amplify student voices through advocating for equity, inclusion, and representation of all. On this episode, Samantha Valentino and Brandon Brown sat down with Mr. and Ms. Black UK, Joel Paul Jr. and Alayna Tobo. They discussed what it means to be named Mr. and Ms. Black UK, how they plan to use their platforms, mental health, being a black student at a PWI, and more.
