Students in UNC’s digital media program recorded their first podcast in a series that will look at issues related to race and diversity. In this first episode of Talking about Race and Diversity with UNC Teens, students spoke with former UNC Youth Director Angel Atell about her experiences as a black woman, how the world is changing to allow black voices to be heard, and about current issues regarding race. The link to listen is coming soon!
