Blacklight - Breaking Barriers & Stereotypes: Recent Episodes
Williesha Morris
Blacklight is dedicated to people of color who defy stereotypes. Brown people don't hike or swim, right? What about dating inter-racially? This podcast will remind you that everyone is unique?
This is part of the final project for Web and Mobile Production. This is my niche media brand, "Powering Up," which focuses on Black female gamers, particularly those in the South.
My final submission for my meta podcast for my Web and Mobile Production class. The podcast I critique is Reckon Radio's "Panther: Blueprint for Black Power."
Trigger warning: Suicide attempt discussion
Imade Borha is the girl behind “Depressed While Black,” which chronicles her struggles and wins over depression.
There are few voices out there representing people of color, especially women, who deal with mental illness. Her story is inspirational!
She is all over the Web! Follow along on her journey:

In this episode, I chat with Michelle Calloway of The Swirl World, one of the biggest sites that encourages and supports interracial dating and marriage. She’s amassed a huge fan base on Facebook and on her web site and podcast. In fact, she inspired me to start this podcast.
Find out the history of the site and what she’s doing to change women’s mindsets about finding true love.

Blacklight, Episode 001
Kellie Clark is leading the Alabama chapter of Outdoor Afro, which is bringing people of color together to commune with each other and nature.
As you can see, Kellie and her family are super Instagrammable, so be sure to follow her @itskelliekralk. We didn’t get around to talking about her appearance in REI, so above is that ad. (Link to Facebook post showing all of the awesome comments.)
Listen to this brilliant lady talk about the history of African-Americans and the outdoors, which is unfortunately steeped in racism.
