We had the honor of partnering with HowlRound Theatre Commons and André Cailloux Center for Performing Arts & Cultural Justice to bring you this latest episode of TSAM!

The WE WILL DREAM festival delegation joins the 2025 International Black Theatre Summit (IBTS) in Accra, Ghana, deepening connections between Black artists and creatives from across the diaspora. In this episode, the WWDF delegation joins the podcast to discuss their upcoming voyage to Africa. They confess their fears, lay out their intentions, and leave room for discovery of revelations that could only be actualized in their ancestral atmosphere.

From the bottom of my Sagittarius heart, THANK YOU for listening & supporting The Self-Aware Millennial this year. 💛
Swipe for stats & recap captures!

I also wanna give a big thanks to our patrons on Patreon for helping us keep this podcast discoverable on all of the streaming platforms. 92% of listeners now know who we are because of your contribution this year. I’m also thankful for the support we receive from Patreon because it has allowed me to contract some post-production editing and marketing relief.

It’s also cool that countries I can barely pronounce are privy to this little podcast now. ☺️

I don’t want to make big plans due to the uncertainty of our futures with our current economic and political climate so I’ll say this: My only hope for the podcast in its upcoming 5th season right now is to keep prioritizing the quality of the episodes over the quantity. Dassit.

Dont forget to rate us ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️if you like us!
I appreciate each and every one of you!
