Hi! It’s Terrian & Yana, Creators and Hosts of the Melanated Conversations Podcast. We started Melanated Conversations out of the desire for a sisterly community that fostered positive and authentic expression of our voices on various topics that we experience daily.  

Our stories are not often expressed from our lense. We shift this narrative and amplify our voices to topics with our perspectives in mind.

Our Narrative From Our Perspective

Every Monday, through the voices of guests of the podcast we connect and share our experiences and powerful stories of transformation.

Call to Action

Jun 3, 2020

We are (podcasters/bloggers/youtubers/influencer/etc.) united to condemn the tragic murders of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor and many many others at the hands of police. This is a continuation of the systemic racism pervasive in our country since its inception and we are committed to standing against racism in all its forms.
 
We believe that to be silent is to be complicit.
We believe that Black lives matter.
We believe that Black lives are more important than property.
We believe that we have a responsibility to use our platforms to speak out against this injustice whenever and wherever we are witness to it.
 
In creating digital media we have built audiences that return week after week to hear our voices and we will use our voices to speak against anti-blackness and police brutality, and we encourage our audiences to be educated, engaged, and to take action.
