Unpacking Black Trauma as Entertainment

This episode of Unpacking Ethical focuses on the harm in telling stories only centered around Black trauma.
“We’re so much more than our trauma.”
On this week’s episode:

Sharmon and Katie weigh in on why certain creative projects get the green light for Black audiences.

We discuss what we love about celebrating Black art.

We talk about what types of fresh narratives we’d like to see shared moving forward.

Join us as we explore this personal and necessary topic.
