Ashley M. Jones Interview
Incredible interview!
A Fantastic Panel Show
You probably won't find the kind of honest conversations available on Colorblind in the mainstream media. Colorbind is a powerful panel-based show, covering a variety of important issues within black culture with honesty, generational conversation, and intelligence. The panelists don't always agree, of course, but the host's ability to direct the conversation and open up new avenues for discussion is commendable.
Give this show a listen, especially if the issues it addresses are ones you care about or wish to better understand.
Accessible
What a great podcast. Honest and much needed conversations about race without judgement.
