conscious negro

Timothy Perry, Tyler White

This podcast examines, questions, and challenges the perceived and real dispositions of the ‘Black’ community, to offer a new hypothesis and conception of a contemporary Black identity. We are not an authority, we are an opinion, a platform, a medium, and an opportunity FOR BLACK PEOPLE. In community, we laugh, we question, and we critique. Join us to hear an appeal to our collective Black potential, value, and diversity with intention and love.
