Black History Month was originally introduced to shine a light on the history, experience and contributions of black people in order to highlight discourses and narratives which have historically been overlooked.
In 2022, it’s time for these narratives to be extended to the discourse around alcohol use, sobriety and mindful drinking.
This October, it is my pleasure to take over the Club Soda podcast and interview some truly amazing speakers about their experiences with alcohol, their motivations for connecting with other sober people of colour, and tips and tricks for maintaining mental and physical health in the midst of a changing climate, world upheaval and navigating sobriety.
In an area of under-representation in critical academic research as well as mainstream representation, the Black History Month takeover of the Club Soda podcast brings together a kaleidoscope of speakers who, in their individuality reinforce the fact that blackness is not a monolith.
