Diversity, Inclusion, social justice - these words have been tossed around since the 50s, so why has so little progress been made in our society? In a mix of classy and ratchet, we pull apart myths, tell a lot of truths and address some bold face lies about the struggle of being black in America. We’ll discuss our own personal experiences, shared experiences and external experiences and what stands in the way of progress. Let’s talk about what it’s like to be black, even before it was trendy!
