Season 01, Episode 09: WHAT IT MEANS TO BE BLACK
The BLK IRL Podcast is an audio docuseries that explores the business of “influencing” and the power dynamics at play in the act of cultural exchange. Join host Anuli Akanegbu as she dissects themes related to race in the influencer economy through research-supported commentary and intimate interviews with predominantly Black content creators, scholars, entrepreneurs, activists, marketing experts, and cultural critics.
In this season finale episode, you will get to hear each of this season's guests share, for the first time ever, their individual responses to the question, "What does it mean to you to be Black?" It is my hope by putting the responses to this question in one episode, listeners will take away the truth that Black people are not a monolithic group and that America's Black population includes many differences that must be acknowledged and celebrated.
