While Black
"While Black: A Podcast on Black Excellence offers two seriously opinionated hosts bringing you the real and sometimes raw on anything happening while Black. The top 10% performing Atlanta-based podcast was born out of the Black experience. We uplift the ideal that Black people have a collective responsibility to create a stronger and more inspired community. We support our Black listeners by creating access to people and information that may prove difficult otherwise. Nothing is actually in isolation and our hue often connects us in color, culture and experience. To our non-Black audience, we are a resource providing answers to questions many are afraid to ask out loud. Finally, we humanize Black folks to those interested in better understanding Black life."
