Black Voices in Color Podcast: Mindset Matters

Welcome to Black Voices in Color, a student-produced podcast from Denver Public Schools that amplifies the voices of Black students across the district. In this episode, hosts Annai, Paris, Savannah, and Josh reflect on the powerful moments from the 5280 Student Voice and Leadership Summit at the Colorado History Museum — where students tackled real issues like declining enrollment and school violence with bold proposals, creative skits, and visionary leadership.

We celebrate Black identity, culture, and excellence while diving deep into what it means to lead with purpose, practice a growth mindset, and create positive change — both in our schools and in our lives. Whether you’re in the classroom, on the field, or in your community, this episode is all about stepping up, staying focused, and showing up as your most authentic self.

Tune in, be inspired, and remember: you’ve got one shot at a gold mine.
