During their journey to sobriety, they noticed the lack of resources aimed at black people who want to give up alcohol. They were also surprised by the lack of representation for black men and women around this topic. This inspired them to create a podcast to fill this gap. They decided to do something about it.
Their podcast, Black and Sober, launched November 2023. It shares personal stories and useful information for people from black and ethnic minority communities trying to give up alcohol.
They hope that Black and Sober will provide an important platform for those in the community who want to give up alcohol. Their mission is to amplify black and ethnic minority voices in sobriety resources. They also wish to show others how to cope, relax and enjoy life without alcohol in all sorts of scenarios.
