1544 Events |  |
| | Join us for cocktail hour and a live show of Truth Be Told, KQED's new advice podcast by and for people of color. It’s like the friend you call after a long, exhausting day – the one who will laugh, cry, bitch and moan with you. If Miss Manners tells you how to blend in and behave, Truth Be Told explores how you can be your authentic self in a world that doesn’t always want you to be.
Host Tonya Mosley will unpack audience questions, digging into what it means not just to survive, but thrive— through conversations with wise ones from our community, performances by local artists, and solid advice. Featuring comedian Dhaya Lakshminarayanan, tech executive Bäri Williams, curator and creative strategist Ashara Ekundayo, and Pastor Marvin K. White. Got a question or issue you want to talk about? Submit it to Tonya, and you just might get people talking! | | |
