In this Episode…
Host Ama-Robin shines a light on the incredible Black explorers whose contributions have been erased by the quiet force of racism. From Matthew Henson, one of the first men to reach the North Pole, to Octavia Butler, who explored the Black experience through Afro-futurism, this episode uncovers stories of Black excellence and empowerment that history has tried to silence or diminish.
Ama-Robin dives deep into how racism shapes historical narratives, how this silence continues today, and how reclaiming these stories can inspire Black people to challenge societal limitations and explore new horizons—physically, intellectually, and spiritually.
Join us to break the silence and reclaim our power.
If you must doubt something, doubt your limits.
