The B.i.G Podcast
by Michael Clark, Ci'Tara Lloyd
The B.i.G (Black is Gold) Podcast is a show based on real world conversations that a lot of us in the black community may not want to have. And before you think this is a bashing black folks podcast, the hosts are two young black professionals breaking into new spaces and seeing new things. Mindsets like that don't have conventional opinions, but if you gives us an episode of two, I'm pretty sure you'll rock with us. Enjoy!https://linktr.ee/thebigpodcast
