[Black In Motion] is where culture, career, and real-life collide. We’re talking about the highs and lows of adulting while Black—navigating relationships, mental health, and the hustle, all while holding it down for the culture. From the influence of HBCUs and the Divine Nine to reclaiming our power in a shifting world, this is the space where we keep it real, uplift each other, and figure out what’s next. Tap in—it’s about us, for us.
