Storytellers of Color airs on the second Monday of each month as part of A Public Affairs on KGNU. The show’s primary goal is to provide a safe space for communicators of color through conversations to elevate their voices and discuss equity issues in the media. Recent gatherings of various working groups, including Latinx Voices, inspire the show from Free Press’ News Voices Colorado Project and Journos of Color Network from Colorado News Collaborative.

The Storytellers of Color series are a collaborative effort, with an open invitation to other storytellers to come into our airwaves, tell their stories, and occupy the safe space we provide every second Monday of the month.
