This week on The Black Perspective, we’re revisiting powerful conversations that continue to shape our community. Gracie Award-winning journalist Esther Dillard returns with A Shade Deeper—a special segment from her podcast The Color Between the Lines. This week, she sits down with acclaimed author Sharon G. Flake, whose groundbreaking novel on colorism left a lasting impact on the Black community more than two decades ago. We also revisit key interviews from across the network:

• Vanessa Tyler speaks with BIN President Tony Coles about the network’s five-year journey
• Morgyn Wood talks to Sheena Edwards about autism awareness
• Alexandria Ikomoni catches up with power couple Raashaun “DJ Envy” Casey and his wife Gia about family, love, and their new book
• And Mike Eiland shares his conversation with the Ohio Housing Finance Agency on new homebuying opportunities for residents across the state
