During the interview, she also gives her insight on what it's like to work with a high profile cast and shines a spotlight on her advocacy work supporting disadvantaged youth and helping the homeless.

"It was an honor to have Skye Townsend kick off season 2 of our show," says Alvin Woods, executive producer and host of the standalone streamer. "The recent cancellations of tentpole urban-focused daytime programming, paired with the shutdown of Black News Channel earlier this spring, created a significant void for BIPOC and women to tell their stories to audiences that directly resemble them. Our platform was created to build a diverse safe space for HBCU alumni, supporters, and friends."
Later in the episode, Director Dru Holley speaks about his new documentary "Buffalo Soldiers: Fighting on Two Fronts." Following the recent world premiere at the Seattle International Film Festival, Holley shares his vision of exploring the often-contradictory role played by the Black soldiers throughout American history, emphasizing the settling of the American West and colonialism abroad.

"Dru Holley's documentary is vitally important to urban culture, especially with so much attention on the topic of critical race theory," says Woods. "The soldiers featured in the documentary fought bravely during numerous wars but also participated in the subjugation of Native people as the United States appropriated tribal land. It's imperative that we build bridges to our history and tell accurate stories that have shaped who we have become as Americans."
