For the melanated community, you wake up everyday and when you look in the mirror, you see richness looking back at you.

But everyday we step out the door, there has to be a reminder, whether it is in the form of a microaggression or SOMETHING or SOMEONE trying to remind you of your place in this world.

This is what this series is about: When Did You Realize You Were Black? When did the World Show You You Were Black?

Ep. 1 features Dr. Russell J. Ledet and Derek Francis, two men who you will hear express the seminal moments in their career fields where they realized they were black.
