It"s Always Personal

I just got tired of the random redefining of what it is to be Black, or who"s a real Black man. It"s Always Personal is an attempt to expand on the most widely accepted examples, and stand alone (probably) as a new archetype to be considered. The mission of this podcast is to hold conversations that question what the masses seem disinterested in challenging, to illuminate the Black entertainment that often goes unnoticed, and to interview guests who can assist with completing IAP"s said mission
