This biweekly podcast is for your kids to learn Black history in the fullness and beauty of what the Black experience entails from Africa to the African Diaspora. I will share historical facts about people, places, and events from a strengths-based perspective to enhance your child’s exposure to and appreciation of Black history. One that will allow your children who identify as Black to take pride and ownership in their rich history and legacy and to correct notions and widen narratives of what it means to be Black in the United States and the world for all children.

Customer Reviews
Loved, loved it!
I am a teacher and always looking for good educational material for my students. These podcasts are great! Not too lengthy for their shorter attention spans, and delivered in such a way that they are engaged throughout the entire time. I felt that I was learning alongside them as well, and enjoyed them so much that I let my own son listen to them as well. Can’t believe they are free either!
Phenomenal Learning Resources!!!!
If I could give this podcast 20 stars I absolutely would. My children and I learned so much. And the learners guide was absolutely great. My 5 and 8 year old are humming the theme song because it was just that good. Thanks Dr. Shannon.
This is Brilliant and Sad at the Same Time
This podcast is brilliant b/c the stories are remarkable!! But it’s sad that these stories still have to be told b/c they aren’t warmly welcomed. It’s time to replace the commercially marginalized story of Dr. King with empowering cutting edge stories mentioned here that display black people in the multi-faceted perspectives they represent!
