Naked Conversations host, Sage B. Hobbs, and her friend and co-host Erica Howard will explore racism, antiracism, interracial friendship, activism, books, films, and more through our different lived experiences.
We’ll offer questions and actions to help you go deeper into your exploration of race & culture, find your own inner disruptor, and be a part of the solution.
Occasionally, we’ll bring you amazing interviews with others who are experts in this work so we can learn together and do better.
The Naked Conversations show has always been about courage, connection, and community building. Race, Culture, & Beyond: A Naked Conversation Podcast Series will take these principles into the hard, messy, and ESSENTIAL conversation about race.
Thank you for being a part of the conversation.
