Popping the Bubble

In the third episode of our Celebrating Black History series in honor of Black History Month, we pay tribute to the late Cicely Tyson. We talk about her childhood, her career, her awards and recognition, and the legacy she left behind. We recognized all the amazing things she did for Black women in the industry and we hope that her life and achievements are embraced forever. In the second part of this episode, we catch up on how our Black History month has been going, what shows and movies we have been watching, and what we have been listening to. With one more week left of Black History month, we hope you guys are engaging and learning something new. See you next week for the last episode of Black History Month!

This episode of Popping the Bubble is a continuation of our Celebrating Black History series in honor of Black History Month. We focused on a group of people who we feel don’t get the recognition they deserve: queer black icons. In particular, we highlighted the lives of activist, Marsha P. Johnson, and esteemed writer, James Baldwin. We told their stories, celebrated their accomplishments, and talked about the legacies that they left behind. We hope you enjoy it! Happy Black History Month!

The second guest is Tosan Obatoyinbo, a junior at St. George's who informs us about the effects of SARS and the wide range police brutality that is currently sparking protests in Nigeria.
