To read The Colored American for yourself, which I highly recommend, you too can visit the archives of the Library of Congress and get lost. It will be time well spent.
Shout out to the Black Adventurers at You Had Me at Black where Nichole Hill is also a Producer. You Had Me at Black is a storytelling platform and community for folks looking to connect, heal, and liberate. They pass the mic to everyday people to share their true-life stories in their own words.
Most know them for their podcast - which you can listen to wherever podcasts play. But they also just launched The Kinship, a new digital community designed to nurture Black expression and creativity. If you’re looking to nurture your inner creative, head to youhadmeatblack.com to learn more.
