Black Pride Special Edition – Unapologetic: Being Black+Queer in Podcasting

Today to kick off Black Pride Weekend here in Chicago I want to celebrate Black+Queer podcasters. It’s perfect because I usually drop a podcast recommendation every Friday and today I get to share four. Four that were featured on a broadcast I co-produced with ShePodcasts called Unapologetic: Being Black+Queer in Podcasting. You will hear from Goddness KoCo of The Sex KiKi, JayRay of Queue Points, Aeon of The Girl Down Podcast & Selly of AfroQueer. All of these podcasters are brilliant and bring all of themselves into the work. It is so vitally important that we uplift these creatives.
