In the midst of this terrible pandemic, something amazing has come. Black content creators have continued to be on the rise. It is always important to be able to have representation and voices that you can relate to, especially in today’s climate. Black creators have reached a new level of creativity large in part to the elevation of the podcasting industry. We as content creators have taken over the podcasting platforms. With that being said we decided to create a list of some of our go-to podcasts that we think you would truly enjoy. This list is in no specific order.
1. The Black Girl Podcast is a black female lead podcast with five black females that don’t hold back their opinions. Their hilarious conversations about life issues, sisterhood, pop culture, love, growth, and the pursuit of their dreams to the public. One of their latest episodes “Grace” touches on the protection of black women. This has been a strong and ongoing conversation in our community and they covered it very well. Along with this episode, their content is educational, relatable, and funny.

2. The Roommates is a black male lead podcast that is just downright funny. Hafeez and Chris have late-night conversations talking about behind the scenes of "becoming" featuring all the people, conversations, and perspectives you’d experience on the way. They give you a take on the male perspective of situations and they also bring on other people to broaden the perspective of others. Go listen to them, trust me you won’t be disappointed.
