noirpress is launching our first podcast, Black Genius!!! We’re so excited to bring you the stories of our favorite global changemakers to help you get to know them better, be inspired by their fortitude and master their secrets for success.

Let’s kick back with our tea or smoothie every Saturday morning and get our weekly injection of Black Glory. Let’s be reminded of how glorious, powerful and visionary we innately are as a people, and let’s reconnect with our power. This is a great opportunity to enter our tribe and be inspired by our faves, the most beautiful, most powerful Black people on the planet.

In Episode 1, launching May 16th with a live recording on our Facebook page, Lolade Siyonbola, founder of NOIR Labs, noirpress and NOIR FEST, shares our origin story. In recounting her journey from Nigeria to Brooklyn to Cambridge, she’ll chronicle the experiences that inspired her to build a global movement for Black empowerment.

Watch the live recording on Facebook here, and listen to the podcast on Apple podcasts. Follow us on Facebook and follow the Black Genius tag here for future episodes.
