About the Show

In this point-of-view documentary series, award-winning writer, executive producer and host Amanda Parris leaves the wars raging on social media to create space for urgent and provocative conversations that centre Blackness and Black folks. Travelling to where the stories are, shell talk with cultural leaders, activists, scholars and everyday people - including writer and producer Larry Wilmore, best-selling author Bolu Babalola, comedian Gina Yashere and the Robin Hood of Restitution Mwazulu Diyabanza - about topics such as reparations, Black maternal health, the business of Black hair and more. Each episode will make transnational connections and push the conversation beyond the hashtags. Mixing travel, in-depth interviews and abbreviated history lessons, For the Culture will bring the conversations that have been taking place in the margins, and centre them in an insightful and entertaining way.
