Point of Hue is a bi-weekly podcast featuring Ateira Griffin and Salimah Jasani, two women of color. Join us as we discuss everything from interracial dating to ancestry tests and even the questionable representations of race in Harry Potter (yes, we went there) from our #PointOfHue.
A podcast for all those socially conscious moms. I'm a black mom, raising black kids in a white world and this podcast is about the funny and not so funny moments that come with being a person of color in today's world. This is real talk about social issues, black and brown lives, black hair, relationships, mommy'ing through those terrible three's (yes I said three's), parenting kids of all ages and all the fun that comes with motherhood... all discussed with a twist of color.
Hosted by Titania a novice Voice-Over Artist, Brown Girl Meets Voice-Over World The Podcast, chronicles my journey as I start, grow, set, and accomplish my goal to become a successful voice artist. Brown Girl Meets Voice-Over World The Podcast will host interviews with WOC inside the voice talent industry sharing tips, lessons learned, skills gained, industry trends, and other relevant content that features the Brown Girl in VO experience.
