What Do You Mean By That?

243: High Five, Friends - Where We’ve Been and Where We’re Going


Listen Later

This week marks the FIVE-YEAR anniversary of the Dear White Women podcast! That means we’ve outlasted almost all the other podcasts out there… like ya knew we would.

From those first few episodes released altogether on April 15, 2019, to now… it’s been quite the ride.  This year, in order to kick off year SIX (!!!) of the podcast, we thought we’d devote an entire shorter episode to talking about not only the past five years but what we have in store for the future and that shot of hope for all of us.

 

What to listen for:

  • How the podcast has evolved since its start in April 2019, including its history

  • The stand-out episode from this past year  

  • Our personal whys behind doing this for the past five years and how that may have shifted over time

  • Where we think the Dear White Women platform goes from here
