About your host

Hi, My name is Michelle and I am the host of the podcast . This ​podcast was birth from being on Maternity leave. While on at ​leave i was introduced to the world of podcasts. I listened to a ​plethora of podcast from husband and wife Devale and Khadeen ​Ellis’s Deadass podcast to Lovers and Friends by Shan Boodram. I ​always loved the topics and conversations, and the knowledge ​that many of their episodes covered. I researched for some ​Canadian podcast and while I found a few there weren’t many ( ​or any at all) that were hosted by black Canadians.

Often times as Canadians we are overshadowed by our ​neighbors south of our boarders. As a Canadian I knew there was ​so much talent and knowledge here. In addition, there is so much ​that's people could learn about regarding black Canadians just by ​them telling their stories. Afterall we are the same country that ​produced Drake, The Weekend , DVSN and so much more so why ​not hear our stories and learn from black Canadians ?
