/ˈsound ˌbīt/ (s)

Over the past two years, we've had the privilege of interviewing countless creative, audacious, authentic women of color over a spectrum of disciplines. Some of these conversations have the power to birth a new sense of enlightenment within our own ideologies.

/ˈsound ˌbīt/ (s) is a short listening series of clips of past interviews and notable conversations that we admire.
