the Black Monologues

The podcast is a homage to the rich African tradition of oral history; driven by the core belief that oral traditions guide social and human morals, which give people a sense of place and purpose. One of the central tenets of this is storytelling, which would be through various means, such as speech, song, poetry, narration, proverbs, monologues and anything and everything audible!We believe that through sharing personal stories across the Black community, not only will our diversity be highlighted in a fresh, innovative way, but also the very idea of Blackness reclaimed and deconstructed. Allowing for the freedom of capturing Black culture through the prism of time and beyond.The episodes will be released every last Sunday of the month (or at the very least we'll certainly try to!) and our debut season is about love in all its different forms!
