First Name Basis Podcast


Apr 23, 2020

This episode answers the number one question I’ve been asked since starting First Name Basis: How do I know whether to say ”Black” or “African-American”? 

I went straight to the source and asked a number of my friends and family how they prefer to identify and why. Listen to hear from:

  • Mielle Harmon
  • Ken Clarke
  • Ramiah Jackson
  • Antony Deshay 
  • Nina Clarke-Telfer 
  • Laura Schnell
