Black History Year

I can get a quick fix on knowledge first thing in the morning by giving this podcast a listen. The information is always interesting and leaves you satisfied with what you learn while also giving you enough information to do more research if you so choose. Please never stop!

I have learned so much rich and eye opening history of our people. It’s simply awe inspiring to learn things that I never even heard in school or church. We are a strong, intelligent, resilient and empowering people. Keep ‘em coming!!!

I like listening to this podcast because it gives me a perspective I didn’t have growing up. But some episodes are more opinionated versus fact based. Those episodes they try to pass their personal beliefs as something everyone should feel. I tend to skip those episodes, because I’m not learning anything from them. Overall I like this podcast, I just hope the guests continue to be scholars and not people pushing their own agendas as facts. Come with examples and tangible evidence when speaking on something.

As someone who isn’t Black but also was never seen as “white” I find this very informative and I’m glad there’s a platform for this. Huge supporter of AAH. I didn’t learn things like this until College and not just any college. I had to take Civil Rights and AAH at a Black College because it wasn’t offered with my traditional at the time. I’m not even sure it is now. That’s when my questions of “why” first began. That was quite some time ago and It always upset me that the majority of people who ARE lucky enough to even attend college still might never know and the cycle would continue. Public school forget it. They seem to think it’s ok to teach the things they WANT you to know apart from the history of this country in it’s entirety. This makes that knowledge accessible to anyone who is looking for it.

Put the listeners in a room with Ashanti at the beginning. Let the audience hear his voice, learn who he is, and connect with him. The stories are so good, so unique, so inspiring, but yet will not get the attention deserved. I wished the story could be told in a different style, rather than reading a script. What’s the day of the week? Time of day? The purpose of talking with Ashanti? Add dimensions and context. Let’s capture the audience upfront :)
