Ghetto Origin Stories

The Absolute Ghetto

Malcolm and Sadé explain their conceptualization of "The Absolute Ghetto". They detail their journeys to rejecting elitist narratives about Black people they'd been exposed to throughout their childhoods, and how attending Howard University facilitated this process.

We're podcast beginners, and we weren't aware of the issue while recording. We felt our first take flowed so well, so we decided to do our best to edit the audio instead of scrapping it. Future episodes will be CLEAR! We promise :) --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-absolute-ghetto/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-absolute-ghetto/support
