My Black Book Journal is the first podcast of Act Justly | Love Mercy. My Black Book Journal explores Black stories through book reviews and interviews to uncover lessons in life, love, and leadership. We do this through a Gospel-centered perspective that is unapologetically black and unashamedly Christian. We believe the stories and experiences of Black people matter, and we desire to show the world how Black people have contributed and continue to contribute to the changing and shaping of society and culture.

Learning your history makes you – and your people – stronger. As Black people, we know we’re left out of the history books. That the media images are skewed. That we need access to experts, information and ideas so we can advance our people. Black History Year connects you to the history, thinkers, and activists that are left out of the mainstream conversations. You may not agree with everything you hear, but we’re always working toward one goal: uniting for the best interest of Black people worldwide. BHY is produced by PushBlack, the nation’s largest non-profit Black media company – hit us up at BlackHistoryYear.com.

That Wasn’t In My Textbook is our history podcast that helps us uncover the things we always wished we learned from that boring bulky textbook. This is the history class you never knew you wanted and that you don’t want to miss. This history podcast includes dynamic research topics, Toya’s cultural commentary and interviews with culture creators and entrepreneurs that speak to the ‘History of’ a topic from the history of police to the history of cannabis. In each episode of this history podcast learn alongside Toya, who picks out-of-the-textbook history topics, talk about lies our teacher taught us, provoke powerful conversations, and give you those unfiltered history and opinions – you know, the ones you might get in trouble for in class. Basically, if MTV Decoded, the History Channel and Anthony Bourdain spent their time debunking history and had a love child, it would be this podcast – That Wasn’t In My Textbook.

Black people have always made the most with the least. From a black man who built his own hospital to a car manufacturer owned and operated by blacks, black history is filled with those who took the scraps and still managed to build empires. They worked in their own communities, sold to their own people, and were rich and influential for it. Black history is more than just wading in the water. It’s stories of boss moves and all in the face of white supremacy. These are their stories. This is a Black Life.
