Hi NOIR FAM! Thanks so much for your continued support of Black Genius over the last 10 Saturdays! We have thoroughly enjoyed spending our Saturdays with you and sharing the stories and genius of our favorite Black changemakers. As we further develop the content from our previous episodes, we are spreading out Black Genius live shows to once a month (every Second Saturday) and introducing new shows in the same Saturday 10 am slot!

This week we are launching our first new show: Black Genius Unplugged! Over the last 10 Saturdays, we have been so inspired by the many life-changing gems and insights from our Black Genius guests. Unplugged is a cypher where NOIR Labs co-founders, Lolade and Uzomaka kick back, analyze these concepts, exploring their significance and how they can be used in developing the New World. We’ll also be answering some of the common questions we’ve received from our viewers, like how do we choose our guests? How will we apply what we’ve learned from our guests in building NOIR Labs? We welcome you to join us, share what you’ve learned from our guests and ask us anything. Watch live here tomorrow!

Next week, we’ll be launching the monthly noirpress Town Hall to discuss pressing issues in our community. The first one will focus on Bridging the Gap: Healing intra-racial relations between Africans, Black Americans and Black Caribbeans. Would you like to be a Town Hall guest? Email editor@noirpress.org by Monday 7/27 to reserve your seat at the table. Seats are limited.
