Brown Girls Do TaKiyah Wallace & Amber Cabral | Lemondrop Media

This week, Amber spoke with Kady Kamakate.  Super unassuming and down to earth, talking to Kady feels chatting with that one easy going girlfriend who is secretly super-woke.  She's making quite the name for herself having produced a series called Lemeirt Park that premiered at the coveted Sundance Festival in the inaugural Indie Short category. Dive into the episode to get the deets on navigating a budding film career and when you can catch Leimert Park on your screen.

In episode 8, Amber talks to Imriel Morgan, CEO of ShoutOut Network, UK's diverse podcast network about falling into podcasting, the labor intensive love of audio and why it is important for podcasters of color to have a voice. Amber kind of loves British accents, (so American, right?), and Imriel's show and prove attitude makes listening to hers that much sweeter.

Episode 7 has Amber and TaKiyah chatting with culture conscious and woke Marjuan Canady; developer of the stage play, "Girls, Girls, Girls" and the creator of "Callaloo" a children's culture literacy and social awareness brand.  The proud DC native, Marjuan tells us how she has leaned into her creativity to develop content that is timely and culturally relevant for a variety of audiences through books, stage and film.  This episode also marks a powerful milestone for Amber (she got inked!) and a new Lemondrop Media podcast launch.  Listen for the deets!

TaKiyah and Amber are back off break and back on with our first male guest, Jose Vilson.  Jose is not only a NYC based Math teacher, he is also the author of This is Not a Test, and the Executive Director for Educolor, (http://www.educolor.org/), a non-profit that seeks to elevate the voices of public school advocates of color on educational equity and justice.  Y'all know we rock with the people who advocate for Brown faces in spaces! Equal parts leader, humorist, activist and lyrical encyclopedia, Jose easily flexes all of those muscles while fighting for fair for Brown kids in the classroom.  Want to know what bravery sounds like?
