About ColorFull Commentary

From the publisher's feed

ColorFull Commentary is a podcast where we talk about politics, culture and the everyday from a ColorFull perspective. We are The Intersection of People of Color and Colorful People. We don't feel the need to explain the term people of color because we're hoping you all know that already! In regards to colorful people, we mean anyone who departs from society's norms, i.e. disabled, queer, economically disadvantaged, and/or institutionally disenfranchised. If you happen to identify with none of these, we still encourage you to listen in order to learn more about the world around you.
