    Mar 10 2025
    Kofi Siriboe, the chocolate brotha who played Ralph Angel in Queen Sugar and is in the current season of Harlem as Seth, recently became part of a headline because he said he practices ethical non-monogamy.

  • All Skinfolk Ain't Kinfolk

    All Skinfolk Ain't Kinfolk
    Mar 3 2025
    Zora Neale Hurston, a writer during the Harlem Renaissance, coined the term “All my skinfolk ain’t kinfolk” when she talked about black folks that didn’t agree with her views about how to advance black interests or were not trying to advance black interests at all. We've seen various iterations of these characters throughout history. From tropes like Sambo and Stepin Fetchit to the examples we see in our community today. Shannon, Lisa, and KK discuss why all skinfolk ain't kinfolk.Bring Blacktivities to your inbox - stay posted on what's happening with the pod... more black culture, black history, black perspectives, and black panache!
