In this stunning journey of personal and cultural discovery, Amanda Parris travels across North America, the Caribbean, Europe and Asia, to explore topics impacting the Black community around the world. This unique series pulls conversations out of the group chats, and moves them directly into the mainstream in an insightful and entertaining way. In Season 2, an incredible lineup of guests including actor, director, author and activist David Harewood (Homeland, Supergirl, Psychosis and Me), and two-time WNBA champion and Toronto Tempo General Manager Monica Wright Rogers, speak to Amanda about Black men’s mental health; the cost for kids around the world who wish to pursue an elusive hoop dream; imagining a future beyond police and prisons; Black food sovereignty; the impact tourism and Black travellers have on Black countries; and the idea of “strategic singlehood” for a growing number of Black women.
