After a much-needed holiday rest, the Belonging to Blackness team is back with the second half of Season 6 of the podcast.
We press forward while continuing to hold members of our team, collaborators and their families, severely impacted by the fires in the greater Los Angeles area, in prayers and other means of support.
We press forward to ensure the voices and stories of African descendants and other marginalized communities are amplified widely, despite every current political effort to render them silent through executive orders and the dismantling of DEI initiatives.
S6, Episode 53, with guest Wendy Eley Jackson (award-winning tv/film writer and producer-Sony Pictures, Netflix, Hallmark Channel) emphasizes this point when she talks about the importance of Black storytelling on big and small screens. Episode debuted January 14 2025.
For February, S6, Episode 54, with guest Tawny Chatmon (award-winning photographic artist whose works are collected by Beyoncé and Alicia Keys, to name a few), discusses the importance of creating imagery that celebrates and honors Blackness, especially when such images are dearth or excluded in the public square. Episode debuts February 18 2025.
Lastly, we press forward with the goal of expanding our listener reach. Throughout the month of February, we will release podcast episodes on the Belonging to Blackness YouTube Channel. Starting with Season 1, catch-up on our past conversations with award-winning guests. Be sure to subscribe to the YouTube channel, so you don’t miss out on new releases!
Don’t fret! The podcast will remain available across its usual platforms—Apple, Amazon Music, iHeart Radio, Spotify, TuneIn, etc. For the full directory, visit: https://yndialorickwilmot.com/talking-journeysb2b-a-podcast-episodes/talking-journeysb2b-a-podcast-episodes/
We shall remain fortified! #BHM365
Peace and blessings,
