Inspiring and thoughtful podcast!

I have thoroughly enjoyed Hiwote’s thoughtful storytelling and presenting topics that center Black Joy, personal self-development and other social impact issues that matter to me. I am eager to follow more of the content Depth & Candor produces. Thank you, Hiwote!

Yes to the new path of being Blacks and joyful

Your latest episode is lucid and heartfelt. We’re on the same path though I’m not a Black person. I look forward to learn with you how to move beyond and heal the pandemic sickness of colonial-neoliberal-capitalism. Please keep going!
