You'll hear prominent speakers from communities of color addressing how to step out of the societal cyclical patterns of our shared past.

We're Making You a Mixtape
Blacktivism in the Academy has season 5 ready to go for y'all and we can't wait for you to hear it.
This season we have a theme: "We're not okay. Is that okay?"
This is our longest season yet and we just know it'll be worth the wait. We're a lil off on our count. It's 15 episodes, but we know you'll love em.
Get in touch with us to let us know your thoughts and to maybe even contriubute your voice to the mixtape!

Customer Reviews
A must listen for Black scholars
This is the actual best podcast I’ve listened to. The host (now hosts) really bring relevant and timely topics of discussion and have solid interviews. 10/10 recommend
Must-have
An artful collection of brilliance, insight, and truth telling—exactly the kind of voice so badly needed in the academy and beyond. Tune in, listen, learn, and go do better.
Listen to this!
Thought provoking, educational, emotional. I am not in higher ed but there are universal truths here that can apply to all industries and professions.
