From Ryan Coogler to Madea (ugh) and now this! We are in a new Renaissance of black storytelling for all of us! We need it all.
So original and refreshing!

I’m Puerto Rican, but love listening to any Historical podcast. Especially when they are told like Nichole does here in this podcast. Stories are relatable, and her dynamic with her guests is so much fun. I’m bummed I binged them all already. Guess I’ll have to listen again.
