It’s 2022 and we’re taking on two of the most urgent questions of our time: What does liberation look like for Black Americans? And what does it mean to be free?

To ground you for the premiere of season three, our host, Tonya Mosley is popping in to share a personal reflection of two near-drowning experiences.

For our last episode of the season we talk with two authors who are passing on the wisdom of the great icons Bruce Lee and Frida Kahlo to teach us what we’re capable of.

Design a fitness plan that’s simple and fun and you’ll never miss a workout.

Tonya and Kiese Lamon, author of Heavy: An American Memoir, unpack this question: “How are Black Americans expected to overcome and thrive in this country without the necessary mechanisms of healing?”

On June 13th in downtown Oakland, over a hundred people gathered to share the love and seek advice from wise ones Ashara Ekundayo and Bari Williams, in conversation with TBT's Tonya Mosely. Take a listen to our live, bonus episode. It's what community sounds like!

What should you do when faced with a big “what do I do” moment?

In our season one finale, we get personal with author Casey Gerald who teaches us that no matter the question, the answer can be found by asking yourself: “What would I do if I weren’t afraid?”

Before we even know who we are and what we want out of life, women are expected to mother, to ultimately be mothers. And for women of color? There are added financial and cultural pressures as well as legacies of historical trauma and present-day racism that we are often up against.

Allies are necessary to our collective pursuit of racial equity and antiracism, but sometimes talking across and through differences can be messy, hurtful, and downright exhausting. As people of color we ALL have had our fair share of those “unintentionally” painful encounters.

Have you ever been made to feel like you aren’t enough? Not black enough, not queer enough, not Asian enough, not enough?

Do you have “a type?” What if you’re a person of color, and you only have crushes on white folks? There’s a lot of mystery about what gets our hearts pumping, but one thing is for sure, our attractions aren’t simply just our own.

Our first episode of Truth Be Told is finally here and we're going in deep to take on one of the biggest questions of our time:  How can I feel joy, when the world is burning?
