About BLK IS THE BLUPRNT

From the publisher's feed

Hello, everyone! My name is Alison Green and I am currently an undergraduate student at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. My major is Political Science along with a minor in African American Studies. I was inspired to start the podcast from the #BLM Movement. This podcast is dedicated to amplifying Black voices, even when #BlackLivesMatter is not trending. The goal of BLK IS THE BLUPRNT is to not only share inspring Black voices, but display the persistance in pursuing justice for Black people all over the world.
