Welcome to Wanna Be- the podcast takes you from where you are now to where you wanna be in 30 minutes or less. Happy Black History Month!

 

I’m Imriel Morgan, Founder of Content is Queen a podcast community that specializes in empowering and amplifying underrepresented voices, specifically women, people of colour, and LGBTQIA+ people. 

 

Thank you so much for taking the time to be here! Wanna Be’s focus is to help you take consistent action to build a successful life and career in the creative and entertainment industry. But this month we’re going to spend some time looking back as well as forward.


Today’s guest is the self-proclaimed Gen-Z historian Kahlil Greene. Kahlil Greene is an online educator with ~500,000 followers across TikTok, Instagram, and LinkedIn platforms! He was recently profiled in The New York Times for his digital education work.

In addition to being a viral historical communicator, Kahlil is currently studying the History of Social Change at Yale University. Where he was elected the first Black student body president in Yale's 318-year history at just 19 years old.

 

In today’s interview, Kahlil and I talk openly about the importance of sharing Black History across different cultures and geographies. Kahlil reveals how his experience in education has enabled him to develop his unique teaching style. And he shares how he’s able to look past the traumas and keep spreading the word about our history.

 

Let’s get into it!

 

I’m so in awe of this young man! He’s really just come up and taken all this attention in his stride. Please do check out Kahlil’s work over on Instagram @kahlil.greene honestly you’ll learn so much! I still do!

 

I hope this half an hour has made you think, reflect and contemplate what your next step should be. If you enjoyed this episode please do share it with your friends or on social media.
