Doing Black history on YouTube

An interview with Torri Yates-Orr

No History Club this week; I’m on the road traveling.

So, here’s a bonus podcast featuring history communicator Torri Yates-Orr.

Torri is a television host, actress and social media content creator who makes videos on YouTube and Instagram related to Black history and other subjects.

We talked about how she documents the struggles and the joys of the African-American experience; the possibilities and limitations of short-form history content; and how Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson became her biggest fan.

Happy listening. Speak to you next week.
