239 | Mahogany Books — Joy, Resistance, and the Power of Being Seen

from Colors: A Dialogue on Race in America · host The Colors Podcast

Mahogany Books was built on a simple but urgent idea: make Black books accessible—no matter where you live. For Derrick and Ramunda, that mission is personal. From growing up near Tulsa’s historic Black Wall Street without ever being taught its history to witnessing generational change and gentrification in Washington, D.C., their work is about closing gaps—in knowledge, in visibility, and in opportunity. They discuss it all with us. Tweet us at @podcastcolors. Check out our partner program on international affairs, Global with JJ Green on Substack.
