Black Girl Blueprint
Black Girl Blueprint was founded on the belief that Black girls have long been the ones to set the trends and transform the culture in a way that only we can. To put it simply: our podcast is devoted to showcasing raw, unfiltered, and unapologetic Gen Z Black girl perspectives. Our bi-weekly episodes will center the voices and celebrate the accomplishments of young Black women who have made their own impact on and within the culture. | Follow us on Instagram: @blackgirlblueprint | Lauren: @laurenaritchie @ecojusticeproject | Makeen: @makeenz @blkgirlculture | Email us at blackgirlblueprint@gmail.com

State of the Culture: The Role of Black Artists and Media

Season 5

Episode 1
Season 5, Episode 1: Long time, no see! In this episode, we're returning to our cultural critic roots for a conversation around Black media, the role of art as a powerful social and political tool, and our expectations of people with platforms in Black music and film to authentically represent Blackness in their work. From Shonda Rhimes and Quinta Brunson to Rye Lane and Cowboy Carter, we're diving into Black entertainment to evaluate what misses the mark, what has value we need to return to, and the stories we'd like to see more of in the future.
