Celebrating Global Blackness: An Afros & Audio Festival Testimony ft Corey Gumbs & Weyu Hodge

We kicking off November with a recap of our time in Baltimore at the 5th Afros and Audio Podcasting Festival. There's a question for you at the bottom.

Weyu Hodge recently attended the 5th Afros & Audio Podcast Festival, where she had the opportunity to network and share her passion project. As a black creator, Weyu often felt isolated in her work, but at this event, she found a sense of community and witnessed the power of connection, engaging in conversations with creators from different backgrounds, solidifying her belief in the significance of her podcast and her determination to establish herself in the industry.

Corey Gumbs, the founder of the Black Podcasters Association, also attended the 5th Afros and Audio event. Corey values these gatherings as they provide a chance to connect with virtual acquaintances and meet new people. The festival felt like a family reunion and allowed Corey to spend time with friends and learn from influential figures in the podcasting industry. This experience left Corey with a great sense of enjoyment and admiration for the individuals and their work.

I also had a great time in Baltimore at the 5th Afros and Audio Podcast Festival. I second the views of Corey and Weyu, and encourage everyone listening to share about this festival with your friends and loved ones.
