About the Podcast

Blacktivities

Blacktivities connects the black history we never learned in school to everyday experiences and issues facing black Americans today. A blend of humor and insight, this podcast connects the past and present in an engaging and entertaining way.

Blacktivities connects black America’s past to the present with the perfect balance of silly meets serious while engaging in thought-provoking and sometimes nostalgic conversations for the culture. Shannon, Lisa, and Karen prove that the black female is not a monolith as they offer their perspectives on living while black in America.
