Women In Black
“Women in Black” is an audio + video podcast hosted by two Black women who are showing up without performance, polish, or pretense. We speak from the deep well of Black womanhood to build a space where all women feel seen, heard, and held. Rooted in faith, laughter, and truth-telling, this podcast holds space for both softness and strength and reflects the beauty in being both whole and human. “Women in Black” is where we put down the cape and pick up the mic being authentically who we are, where we are. Unmasked. Unfiltered. Unapologetic. Watch us on Youtube Follow Us: IG: @WeAre.WomenInBlack | @DezDoesItAll | @SaySomethin_Josh FB: @WomenInBlack Get In Touch: Weare.womeninblack@gmail.com
