Showing results for "Khadija" in History

This is a podcast where two best friends, Kim and Khadija, attempt to fill in the lines of history that our nation seems to have forgotten. Now, more than ever, attacks on teaching hard history and real history is ever present in our society. Each week we will not only tackle a few big news stories, we will choose a topic and fill in some gray areas and even surprise each other with new facts. It is important to us that if you find a topic interesting, you go ahead and read some books and do some quality research and learn more yourself. Oh, and reality TV…we will defiantly discuss Bravo!

The Philadelphia Orchestra and Kimmel Center Inc. present the HearTOGETHER podcast— a space for heartfelt, engaging, disruptive, conversations with artists, activists, and everyone in between. Hosted by Khadija Mbowe.
