ABOUT WHITE SPEAK PODCAST:
Are you from outside the Black Community and baffled by what’s going on? Do you genuinely want to understand but have no clue where to start? Do you get what's going on but are afraid to say the wrong thing or offend someone? If you've answered yes to any of the above questions then you've come to the right place.
White Speak podcast breaks down the complex Black Lives Matter Movement and what led up to it. And what we can do to help. Answering questions from listeners about what they can do to help.
Ralph and I along with special guests will answer the silly and serious questions from our non-Black and Black listeners. Communication and understanding is a two-way street--and for far too long we've ignored our need to come together and listen.
This is a podcast created to inspire us, to create change. The only way we can do it is together. Everyday with one small step.
