Host Michelle Zacarias sits down with Afro-Latino public historian, social media content creator, and fine art photojournalist Anthony Milian to explore the power of storytelling as resistance.

From the complexities of Afro-Latinidad and colorism within the Latino diaspora, to the untold legacies of figures like Rafael Cordero and José Celso Barbosa, Anthony makes the case for why preserving our histories has never been more urgent.
