We critique Black art, and with compassion, analyze media representation on stage, television, film and other sites of Black performance. We are also performing artists, and in the words of Nippy, you might hear us do it on this podcast "...some..times!" It’s a celebration y'all! Come get this Gen-Z/Millennial vibe and let’s do it for the culture!

A.T. and Kenzi
