Paris, Tokyo ft. Chris Green

We Thought You Been Knew Podcast

In this month's episode, we discuss the challenges of traveling throughout the country as Black people, then we bring in multi-hyphenate creative Chris Green for his perspective on international travel. Black people don't have the luxury to just think about the fun and excitement of new adventures, we also have to consider how our Blackness will be perceived, treated and accepted wherever we go. Will there be harassment? Is someone going to say something ignorant? Will a situation get out of hand? Later in the episode, we dive into the Emmy-nominated virtual reality doc, "Traveling While Black" to get a firsthand look at what it means to navigate the world as a Black person.
