About Village Boyz
From the publisher's feed
Have you ever wondered what it means to be black; as both an internal experience and a lived one? And how that lived experience differs depending on what country you go to? Or how our racial identity…
is immensely influenced by the dominant society, politics, and religion? Or even the difference between ethnicity and race? The black experience is a beautiful complexity and we get to celebrate every nuance on the show. Join us as we discuss the intersectionality of blackness and the various experiences shared by our guests. Bringing you culture, intellect, and fun at the same damn time.
