In the first episode of the new season of Bridging the Gap Podcast, hosts Jessie and Ola are joined by Jonathan and Zenzi to discuss political awareness and why it’s such a vital topic for young Black people today. 

Together they unpack what political awareness means, the barriers to engagement, and how a lack of representation and access to reliable information can lead to feelings of apathy and powerlessness. From voting systems and media bias to echo chambers and the role of education, they share personal stories and reflect on the importance of being informed, proactive, and united. 

Tune in as they explore how political decisions affect our everyday lives, why our voices matter, and how even small actions can help shift the narrative.
