Beyond Black History Month

In this episode, we talk to journalist Soledad O'Brien about how she's pushing journalists to tell inclusive stories. From calling out reporters providing problematic coverage, while simultaneously encouraging news consumers to think about how a story is framed, the Afro-Latina news anchor, CEO, and executive producer is demystifying media. We also talk about what makes her news magazine show Matter of Fact different and why her latest documentary The Rebellious Life of Mrs. Rosa Parks tells a story you may not know.
