Sarah Burke interviews Shirley Joseph, the co-founder of The Chonilla Network and the woman behind the 'Black Canadian Creators" Podcast and community. Graduating from broadcast school alongside the likes of Sid Seixeiro and George Stroumboulopoulos, Shirley always enjoyed working behind the scenes in production. More recently she stepped into power creating a dedicated community for Black Canadian Creators while helping many other podcasters along their way. It all started with a podcast co-hosted with her husband in which they explored how unique their experiences were as an interracial couple.

Shirley shares her journey through podcasting, from starting a show in Montreal to building a dedicated online space for Black Canadian Creators. They discuss the significance of spaces for Black creators and the need for representation in media.
