Yo, closing out the season of #BlackMenSpeakSundays is our new podcast friend Mozo! We are so happy to share space with another community builder and healer for the first generation. It was so dope to see the parallels across our Dominican and Tigrayan backgrounds and the generational changes we are making as bridge builders. Absolutely, loved this convo, and can’t wait to see how “Watch Yo Mouth with Mozo Podcast” grow!
