At the height of the George Floyd Protests, Oprah Winfrey dug into her journalistic roots to host a town hall discussing hundreds of demonstrations that racked America. Lisa Durden assembled a group of Black women in the media to critique it.
In this weeks, Stop Brutalizing Black Bodies podcast, Durden’s two-part dialogue discusses the ideas presented in Winfrey’s two-part town hall. In the media mogul’s first talk, the question, “Where do we go from here?” framed the dialogue. The five women on Durden’s panel, also known as her #DopeAFContributors answer that same question as they contextualize how the nation is at a tipping point.
