February is Black History Month in the United States, so yes, we're a bit late publishing an episode on this subject! However, we have a good excuse - we spent the month of February collecting interviews and content so that we could present a series of episodes on Black History Month, racism, colorism and intersectionality in France, the United States and other cultures.
In this first episode you'll hear about the creation of Black History Month, listen to the first part of our interview with Leah - a bi-racial, French, American, Haitian, Jewish student - and you'll get some tips on participating in tough conversations about race.
