South to America

COMING FEBRUARY 2025

This year we're proud to launch South to America, a seasonal podcast inspired by Dr. Imani Perry's award-winning book of the same name. This podcast explores the richness, resilience, and cultural significance of the American South through the lens of African American neighborhoods and the transformative work being done within these communities.

With Dr. Perry’s gracious permission to use the title, and her blessing for this project, we’re thrilled to feature her as one of our first guests. While this podcast draws inspiration from her book, it is an independent project led by the founders of BLK South, Kendall and Erin Dooley. Dr. Perry is not directly involved beyond her guest appearance.

Join us as we dive into compelling stories, thought-provoking discussions, and uplifting narratives that celebrate the South's sacredness and the efforts to reclaim its identity. Together, we'll explore art, justice, theology, and the rich tapestry of life that defines the South.

Tune in to journey with us and discover the beauty and power of the South, one story at a time.
