The Banquet Hall is excited to welcome Little Blue (she/her) to the podcast! She is a Spoken Word Poet who was born and raised in Philadelphia and she will be featuring at Black Xpression on Friday, December 8, 2023! Prior to her feature, we wanted to make sure that the Black Xpression audience got to know Little Blue's background a little more, from her poetry origin in high school, to publishing her first collection of poetry entitled Before I Self Destruct.

After you check out the episode, be sure to tap in with Little Blue on her website! You won't want to miss this amazing artist's feature at Black Xpression in San Diego.

A Banquet Hall is not complete without a resident DJ! This week's episode we are bringing you the vibes with DJ AlmondEyez who is a DJ, chef, mother, rapper, and more from SouthEast San Diego. Our conversation ranges from tiny houses, to DJ pet peeves, to why Pan-African Studies matters, so there is a little bit of something for everyone!

Everyone knows the warning about the grass on the other side of the fence, but what do we do about those brown spots in our yard? Love them.

The Banquet Hall is back with a special guest from Kyler's high school squad!
