Hey fam! 

James Wilson speaks about why he wrote and self published his first book "Teach Me About Garvey" for our youth. At what age can you recall learning about the great Marcus Garvey? If you're like me, you probably didn't stumble upon him until early teen years.  James is a native of Nashville, Tennessee, father, and graduate of the great HBCU, Tennessee State University. He is also the founder of the non profit "Mine and Yours Community Initiative (MAYCI)." 

I have my copy and love reading it to my toddler. I enjoy being able to teach her about the Pan-African Movement from such a young age. 

Be on the lookout for his next book "Red, Black, and Green, Tell Me What it Means"

Welcome to the More To Black Podcast! Let me take this time to introduce myself and tell you why we started this. I dedicate this episode, and  journey to my little one. Often times, students study European languages by default, and have very little opportunity to study anything else. I'm here to be part of the solution. #BlackLanguagesNow!
