Happy Black History Month and welcome to the brand new season of The Spooks by the Door. We starting with two episodes back to back!⁣
⁣
In our first episode we sit with two former DC politicos, Amena Ross and Andrew Lee to talk about our new presidential administration and our own Black Agenda. We explore what we want, how to get it and how we can bring black folks from across the aisle to one political path.⁣
⁣
In our second drop, Baka sits with wellness instructor and entrepreneur, Brandon Copeland to discuss the intersections of identity, wellness and black entrepreneurship. Being an entrepreneur calls into convo many things and your identity shapes how you do business and how your business is principled. As the conversation of new black business heats up, we dive in to what it means to keep it all in balance - for self and for the community.⁣
