Founded in 2016, Blackspace is a digital makerspace based in Durham and Chapel Hill, North Carolina. It offers Black and Brown youth a breathing space to manifest their dreams by any medium necessary.

In January 2019, I spoke with Mariah M., the Program Director and Slam Master for Blackspace Poetry, and Miranda Stephens, a BlackSpace Youth Artist. In this episode, I speak with Mariah and Miranda about the significance of black and brown centric spaces for POCs and strategies of self care for artists of color. Happy listening!
