This week’s Postloudness recommendation, UnLearned. UnLearned is a weekly podcast focused on unlearning harmful narratives taught to us about blackness, womanhood, sexuality, and religion. Through their show, they hope to deconstruct these power structures and to create a space of relearning, showing that blackness means many things, that it is comprised of many stories, and that many voices make our choir.
