Are We Black?

Helloo everybody!!!

In honor of it being Black History Month, we decided to re-record one of our lost episodes (fun fact: we actually recorded an episode similar to this 2 years ago when we first started the podcast...but unfortunately it got deleted and never saw the light of day). We had a really insightful conversation and we hope you enjoy this one as much as we do! 

*Side note* the video quality took a little bit of a hit this week - we're sorry for that, just close your eyes and pretend we're in 4K lol.

Thank you so much for stopping by and listening! If you like what you hear, follow our page for more episodes uploaded every THURSDAY! Don't forget to subscribe to our YouTube channel for more videos:
