Free Black Millennials in partnership with Stage to Sream presents Free Black Millennials: The Podcast. A free form conversations style podcast where we amplify the unique voices of artists, up and coming pioneers, world changers and people just out here trying to figure it out. FBM’s goal is to provide people with the cultural initiative to educate, celebrate, heal and entertain the masses with the function of promoting social and systematic change. We are creating COMMUNITY through sharing and LEARNING through relationship. It is meant to shed light on the fact that the “struggle” is the same; it’s only the “situations” that are different. Most importantly we are creating an environment to get informed and discuss what we can do in the fight against white supremacy. Hosted and created by Deon Releford-Lee, a New York/Vancouver based artist, FBM is a place for everybody, blackity black black and so thrilled to have you at our cookout. Follow @freeblackmillennials for more and/or shoot us an email at freeblackmillennials@gmail.com with all of your with all you comments and questions. Make sure you use the hashtag #freeblackmillennials and #FBMThePodcast under you own posts to show us how you are living/supporting that FBM state of mind. We want to hear from you!!!

Welcome Back to the Cookout!!! On this weeks episode of FBM: The Podcast we hear from Ife Michelle Presswood; Ife is a queer black fem dancer/Choreographer/model/educator/student and all around goddess from Charlotte NC. Ife is an MFA student in the Embodied Interdisciplinary Praxis in Dance Program (Duke University). Her research, centered at the intersection of Dance, Race and Humanities, aims to investigate the performance of the embodied identities/realities of Black Women Artists and how these embodiments are expressed using art. Through the lens of dance, she analyzes inner and inter corporeality’s of Black Women Artists through choreographic works and curated methodology in order to demonstrate and vivify the need for effective safe spaces (contextualized through misogynoir) and its accompanying attributes: i.e. resources, opportunities, safety/empathy, care and quality training, that allows for valuing, vivification, fluidity and self-autonomy of Black Woman and their artistry.
