In the penultimate episode of season one, host Yomi Sode talks about the importance of owning and telling our own stories with Kat Francois and Reece Williams.

They discuss bravery, worrying about how people will receive your authentic voice, how it is a fight for Black poets being able to tell their real truth and how they have had to unlearn the actions associated with silencing themselves.

Kat shares her poem 'Tongue Tied'
