Being Black in America: A Special Edition of Happy Hour with Steve Guy (Raw, Uncut, Conversation on Racism)

In the midst of a necessary social uprising and movement across
the United States on the heels of yet more deaths of black
people, (George Floyd, Breonna Taylor), at the hands of police
officers, host Steve Guy sits down for a deep, intense, open
dialogue with Kierra Cotton, John Bruton, and Jocelyn Ball. All
three represent the Black Community in this conversation and come
from different backgrounds and career paths. Kierra works as a
digital media producer for a local news station, John is a
standup comedian and graphic design artist, Jocelyn is an IT
professional. They speak on what is happening right now, systemic
(and blatant) racism they've dealt with in their lives and at
work, media presentation of protests, support from others, and so
much more. This is a raw, emotional, uncut conversation on the
state of Being Black in America, in 2020.  This sit down
conversation was recorded at All Saints Public House in
Cleveland, OH. Many thanks to them for allowing us their space.
