BLACK N WHITE SPACES

BLACK N WHITE SPACES

By Jakia Propst

Marginalized, overlooked, and misunderstood. BLACK N WHITE SPACES is about Black people in and out of spaces of community whose stories are rarely, if ever, told. Each week we discuss what it means to be human while navigating the Black experience, offering the rest of the world a chance to better understand a new perspective.
