The Melanin 360 Podcast
The Melanin 360 Podcast was created to make a little space for us to let our afros, braids, weaves, locs - or whatever you're rockin' - down and just have some good ol fashioned fun, and learn a little something in the process with some amazing guests that I respect and admire. I promise to cut to the chase and give you this podcast straight with not a lot of chaser.

Or are you sitting on the sidelines, watching others direct the narrative and take over the show and your movie winds up going straight to Tubi? (shade, but no shade!)
