The Blkprint Podcast
Two friends, Betty and Adriana, make it their mission to use a mix of humour and thoughtfulness to spark insightful and thought-provoking conversations on a variety of topics. Race, faith, politics, pop culture - you name it, everything is on the table. There is no perfect blueprint for how life should go; it’s up to each of us to create our own paths, but the hope is that these conversations can help you design your layout for Black millennial living.
