Can’t Stop Listening

I am so glad I came across this podcast. It not only show the amazing lives of Black expats all over the world, but it also shows the diversity of Blacks in the world and especially the diversity of Black Americans. We need to hear these stories and experiences. I am so glad to hear a podcast that opens minds.
