March has come and gone, but that doesnt mean the celebration of women and their contributions should end. It is something we should be doing daily, especially within this space we call podcasting.

Our inaugural live stream in 2022 - Black Women In Podcasting: A Virtual Panel Discussion was not only a huge success, but helped to celebrate the women who worked so hard behind the scenes to help make both the Black Podcasters Association and Afros & Audio platforms the current successes they are.

In 2023, we wanted to continue the conversation but this time, make it a more collaborative effort while discussing topics that are important for women of color within the podcasting space. One of those collaborative efforts happened with

Danielle Desir Corbett
, founder of Women Of Color Podcasters community.

🎉 Danielle Desir hosted a series of weekly Twitter space conversations along with BPA founder, Corey Gumbs, on a variety of topics (click on the topic to listen to the replays) such as Women podcasting behind-the-scenes, How to uplift women in podcasting, Women podcasting globally, and Wellness and Self-Care.

🙏🏾 We want to thank Twila Dang, Krystal Hill, Nicole Walker, Casby Bias, Adell Coleman, Keisha “TK” Dutes, Xperience J,  Deneen L. Garrett, Robin Kinnie, Fay Fay, Heneka Watkis-Porter, Roshni Baronia, Sherley Joseph, Christine Job, Shamiko Reid,  Chulu, Didi Hairston, and Kyla Denanyoh for being a part of this great series.

Make sure you follow and show your support to each and everyone listed. They are all working on some great projects your do not want to miss out on.

But that’s not all.

We also held our annual Women’s discussion on YouTube and this year’s topic was Behind-The-Scenes with Black Women in Podcasting.

The goal of this discussion was to give viewers an insightful conversation with founders, producers, editors, and executives who are at the forefront of the podcasting industry.

👉🏽 Deneen L. Garrett, host of Women of Color: An Intimate Conversation, moderated this all-star panel of amazing Black women and led us on their journey in creating a network for women by women, producing for a podcast network, and the ins and outs of media management.
