Four Podcasts Paving the Way

Turning an equity lens on everyday life, Black Gems Dive In pulls back the complex layers of life in inclusive cultures while providing the ingredients for the proper approach to implement diversity, equity, and inclusion as a means of achieving justice. Hosts Kendra Brim and Ekua Mends-Aidoo bring a shared extensive background in civic engagement and social justice to the mic and the masses, covering highly influential and impactful issues that affect the community at large. Tackling everything from election season energy (and respite) and rebranding DEI to live coverage of the Congressional Black Caucus, Kua and Kendra take the bull by the horns and leave no stone unturned when it comes to having these very hard—and very necessary—conversations.

Watch episodes of Black Gems Dive In on YouTube or listen on any podcast platform.

Snatching away the distractions and taking a dive right into the deep end, ASAP—Another Shawn Allen Podcast—deals with the real when it comes to culture, politics, social justice, and much more. Centering conversations that range from the latest Hollywood happenings to celebrities embracing the impact of their platforms to affect change, Shawn and his guest hosts don’t shy away from scandals or seriousness as they shed light on hot topics across the globe. From living in America’s most popular (and ruthless) cities to understanding the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, no topic is too tough when Shawn takes it on. And with the entire world as his backdrop, Shawn shows no signs of stopping when bringing his listeners the latest news.

Tapping into the pretty, the ugly, and the grind behind chasing your dreams and achieving greatness, The G Code mixes music and motivation to take charge of mental health. With each episode, host Adriana “ADRI.V the Go Getta” Viverette sits down with her guests—all of whom are affectionately referred to as Go Gettas—as they share leaps taken and lessons learned throughout their journeys to success. A native of Buffalo, New York, ADRI.V always shines a light on her hometown, regularly featuring success stories out of “the frozen tundra” (like Griselda rappers Benny the Butcher, Conway the Machine, and Westside Gunn) along with recaps of A-list events like REVOLT World and Culture Con. It’s safe to say that the G in G Code stands for Grind because that’s how a real Go Getta gets it done.

The G Code airs every Wednesday on podcast platforms across the board.
