Yes, It’s Black Folks in Nebraska!

Every time I tell someone I’m from Omaha, I get the same question: “There are Black people in Nebraska?”

Yes and this episode is about the Omaha I know - the food, neighborhoods, traditions, Black history, and family that shaped me. It’s about growing up surrounded by Black excellence before I even had a name for it.

I also talk about why I left Omaha in 2012, what leaving allowed me to become, and what it means to return nearly 15 years later with a completely different appreciation for home.

I may have left Omaha, but Omaha never really left me.

Now, hear me out.
