Mission & Team
The Blue Record is a collegiate podcast hosted by the students of Spelman College in partnership with Spelman’s Social Justice Program. The mission of the podcast is to critique counterproductive ideologies and discourses that interrupt the mobility of Black women in society.
Paying homage to Ida B Wells’ groundbreaking Red Record, TBR carries on the torch of social justice integrity and inquiry through giving a platform to authentic voices. The goal of TBR is to initiate and continue dialogue on intersectional topics through a Black feminist lens. From the hosts to the production team, TBR is creatively constructed and produced by Black collegiate women and femmes.
The Blue Record podcast is housed in Laura Spelman, the Social Justice dormitory at Spelman College. The Blue Record Podcast was established by Social Justice Fellow Kayla Smith (C’21) and her founding team in Spring 2020.
