    Community & Coalition

    Welcome back KSFam! This is the first episode of our tenth season! To celebrate this milestone, we are diving into our namesake - what does it mean to be Kinda Sorta Brown? For some of us, it is term that gathers all people of color together. For others, it resembles a personal message of a multi-cultural background. No matter how we see it, we can agree "Kinda Sorta Brown" is a mantra that projects unity. That leads us to our broad theme for this season: community and coalition among people of color. It is a great thing to learn about the uniqueness of different groups, and discuss how we can be an ally to each other. Tune in for this upcoming season to discover why! ________________________________________________________________________________ This episode’s hosts: Zara Salman, Narvella Sefah, Shanice Handley, Jordyn Smith, Mack Minter, Tanaya Vohra, Trinitee Holley, Lucy Whitehead, Meklet Demoz, Logan Toe, Myles Xavier, Faith Kumi, and Aaron Dyas    Join the KSFam!

    Boys II Men

    Hey KSFam! It all starts with mom although we’ve come to the end of the road, we just can’t let you go without discussing the pivotal role black mothers play in their sons’ lives. The portrayal of Black men, in media, continues to have negative effects on the way Black boys perceive themselves and grow into adulthood. One way in which this poor representation is often combated is through the black mother’s presence. Join hosts, Aaron, Logan, and Ethan on our last episode of the season as they sit down with black mothers and discuss the portrayal of black men in society while highlighting how black mothers help to transform boys into men. ______________________________________ This episode's hosts: Aaron Dyas, Logan Toé, and Ethan Waggoner Join the KSFam!

    Nothing About Us Without Us

    Think of your favorite museum. How is the museum layed out? Who or what does the museum give space to? What is exhibited? Where are said items from and how were they obtained? War, violence, and theft underlie the history of museums in addition to the artifacts that lie within them — a colonial undercurrent that is only beginning to be addressed in the present day. In this episode, join Hope and Jon as they discuss cultural repatriation and how black and brown people can reclaim their own narratives in these institutional spaces as they reimagine them with Debra Yepa-Pappan, artist and Native Community Engagement Coordinator at the Field Museum for the Native Truths Exhibition. ______________________________________ This Episode’s Host: Jon Brooks and Hope Houston Join the KSFam!
