About the Episode:

In Part 1 of the KBP, Kaleena and I reminisce about memories of our HBCU experiences as design students and what healing looks through the form of writing.



About the Guest:

Kaleena Sales (she/her) is an Associate Professor of Graphic Design and Chair of the Department of Art & Design at Tennessee State University, an HBCU (Historically Black College and University) in Nashville, TN.
