This week’s issue is a few days late and I wanted to apologize. Curating a newsletter with the breadth of BlkPodNews.com is not easy, especially when it’s just one person. So sometimes, things wont go as smooth as they normally do.
This was that week. Due to illness, other responsibilities, a “slow” news week (I need you all to submit your articles, etc. 😅), and final edits, I wasn’t able to get this issue out on time.
I just wanted to acknowledge my mistake and thank you for your patience and support.
If you are interested in contributing, becoming a part of the BlkPodNews Team, etc. Check out our FAQ page for more information.
Sincerely,
Corey Gumbs
