PODCAST

Shut Up! Podcast

This is a safe space for my thoughts—Black, unfiltered, unapologetic. A Black Canadian voice from Ottawa (Red Black) shaped by the Red, the Black, and the Green and the Red Blue (Rouge et Bleu). I don’t know exactly where this podcast is headed, but that’s the point. Like me, this podcast is a work in progress. It grows, shifts, and evolves as I do. Maybe it becomes a community, maybe it stays just me and this one mic. Either way, I’m here, and I’ve got something to say—so Shut Up!
