Toronto is a multicultural hotspot. But the diversity that makes the city special isn’t often reflected in the stories we hear and the discussions we have. Black Tea will change that. Dalton Higgins and Melayna Williams are here to bring important and uncomfortable Black community conversations out in the open, and to have some laughs while doing it.
Mel and Dalton talk to professor, author and public intellectual Rinaldo Walcott about the state of Black life, history and how to imagine and create a better world.
