white people, black music and liberation
we explore antiracism as liberation work, not a politics of opposition.
this podcast is especially for white and white passing people, and particularly musicians, who are in relationship with Black music and culture.
through reflective, question driven episodes, the show looks at how identity and cultural programming shape our understanding of race and belonging.
it does not focus on correctness, performance, or saying the right thing.
instead, it invites listeners to slow down, notice inherited patterns, and ask what liberation is asking of us, internally and socially.
this is a space for people who want to stay in the work with curiosity, humility, and care, even when the answers are not simple.
