Black Superheroes Matter is a series created by Steven Christian in response to the #BlackLivesMatter and #OscarsSoWhite movements back in 2015. He was upset with the fact that there were very few avenues of inspiration for people of color, and even less opportunities. With the advent of Corona virus and stay at home orders, opportunities for Black creators to connect and support each other have been put on halt. This podcast aims to highlight those in the community doing great things to move the culture forward in comics, animation, cosplay, etc. Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/blacksuperheroesmatter/support
