A fresh take on current events.

The Demetria Obilor Show was amazing! She is witty and knowledgeable. Her perspective on the politicization of Black History in schools is outstanding, and everyone should listen because it provides an insight into what is happening across the country. I highly recommend this podcast to everyone because Demetria is engaging and informative. She’s funny in her topics, too! She keeps it exciting and keeps you in the know. BRAVO👏👏👏
