EP. 21: Kési’s Story – The State of the Young Black Advocate

The first question every one of our guests answers is “What’s your story? How did you get to where you are today?”

In the Season 3 premiere of Better to Speak: The Podcast, Kési (host and founder of Better to Speak) explores her own personal story on the show for the first time.

This episode is dedicated to Audre Lorde (February 18, 1934 - November 17, 1992), whose works including “A Litany for Survival,” “Transforming Silence Into Language and Action,” and “Your Silence Will Not Protect You” continue to guide Better to Speak’s mission and vision as its north star.
