Black tea is a podcast in collaboration with Vanderbilt Student Communications that strives to highlight underrepresented and undiscovered perspectives on campus. Our goal for this podcast is to include everything from self-care options available on campus, interviews with faculty of color and minority student orgs on campus, and showcasing black artists and authors.
In every episode, we’ll be drinking different types of tea and talking to you about black and brown Vanderbilt.
