Off Color is still on hiatus, due to pandemic. Sorry! But Rebekah aka the Tan Tigress is recovering from the traumas of the past year and has begun work on some new and dope projects including partnership with Culturs Magazine! This minisode is an interview with Korean adoptee and artist A.D. Herzel. 

The 2020 Election is almost over and with all the anxiety in the air we took some time to sit down and reflect on 2016. Rebekah and Janece didn't know it then, but Trump's victory was the catalyst that would bring them together on Off Color. We also spoke to Dr. Tania and Emma Teng about being first time voters in this historic election.

In 2016 Kaepernick took a knee as a protest for racial justice and eventually lost his job in the NFL. Today, players on almost every major sports team are kneeling and wearing gear branded with messages about Black Lives Matter and ending racism in America. What happened and how much work is there still left to do? Special Guests Bisi Johnson - NFL Minnesota Vikings Wide Receiver Justin Adams - CBS 4 Denver Sports and News Reporter

Being a parent is tough, being a parent during a pandemic is torture. On this episode we interviewed moms and a dad at various points on the privilege spectrum to ask how they are holding up now that (virtual) school is back in session.

The 2020 election will be here before we know it and it’s time to talk about vote shaming, third party candidates, party loyalists and progressive youth “radicals”. Not to mention that complications of voting during a pandemic and systematic dismantling of our postal service. Get ready kids, this one is going to be a wild ride.  Special Guests: Saira Rao- Former Democrat candidate for US House and now registered Independent Hashim Coates - Vice Chair of AAICD and “card carrying Democrat loyalist”
