LOOOOVE love love the conversation around Beyoncé, Solange and preserving our Black American (Southern) culture! vibes all the way thru!

As a black Texan, this episode hit different.

It was an amazing experience to be part of this, Seren! Thank you for having me. Xx Katie

I’m so happy she came to my hometown of Dallas, Texas! Often overshadowed by Houston but it’s cool! The nicest people, RICH CULTURE, and so much pride. DIRTY DIRTY DALLAS BABY!

This was exciting, being from Houston and originally from east Texas. I get a sense of pride when I see Texans. There are so many famous people from Texas and I notice we tend to be really humble people.

This was a great convo. I felt like I was there kicking it with y’all. I hope you make your way back to South Florida. Black American stories need to be amplified.

Great interview guys!!

Immediately clicked! Currently in DFW area from La!

Dallas(Oak Cliff) is my hometown and my family is originally from East Texas. Also, I'm a proud graduate of Lincoln Highschool. Eryka Badu, Yella Breezy, Asian Doll and Jonathan Davis are a perfect representation of Black American Dallas.

season 3 is hereeeeeeee. im ready.

Happy that TBA is back!!!!!

Soo Excited for Season 3 of The Black Americans!!

Really appreciated this video!!

Awesome show. I didn't know anything about it till now. ✊🏾💪🏾💯

Yaaaasssss!!!

Oh yes! Wasn't expecting this!!

Everyone but Black Americans can speak English with an accent and it's fine. When we talk with our various accents we get labeled. They do the same with my culture, the Gullah/Geechees. And don't get me started on Juneteenth! The enslaved in Texas knew that they were free but the racist a$$ enslavers didn't want to let them go which is why General Granger had to go down there to enforce the order. It wasn't that the US government was feeling particulary righteous either. The newly reunited US needed to force Texas back into the Union so that Texas didn't try to rejoin Mexico-again.

I’m gonna make sure I travel to Dallas this year. This was a great episode Seren. THANK YOU!

Yay yay yay! So excited to watch this one

Yessss I jumped when I saw this on my notifications lmao. So excited!! 🧡

nice to see that you're continuing this!

YAY!!!

38:42 facts on facts.

This was beautiful

FIRST LOVE ITT

Yay! It’s so great to see you back with this series!

Katie is 35 & fine 🥰

46:30 facts. I feel the same with Chicago, all these outsiders and media attention. It really added more damage since the internet took off.

Yay ---

I'm glad the topic was brought up about Beyonce's accent. I'm a native born Houstonian and those comments made me feel some kind of way when Wendy Williams and other would say that. Beyonce has a Houston Texas accent. A lot of talk like that and it's not a reflection of our intelligence. It's a regional accent and nothing more nothing less.

How y’all skip Self Titled like this

Yay yay yay! So excited to watch this one
