Monuments to Me

Monuments To Me celebrates every aspect of black women in a world that tries to ignore or destroy them. This protected place features black women and ONLY black women diving into the conversations that matter. Akilah and Tyi lead an endless range of discussions that will move you from laughter to tears and inspire you toward the best version of self, but trust, they stay unapologetically centered on black women. This ain't your everyday podcast because it ain't every day that a podcast normalizes praising, celebrating, and building monuments to black women.
