Welcome to The Jali Podcast, I’m your host Melyssa Barrett. This podcast is for those who are interested in the conversation around diversity, inclusion and equity. Each week, I’ll be interviewing a guest who has something special to share or is actively part of building solutions in this space. Let’s get started!

The Jali Podcast is focused on educating others about diversity and inclusion while using the principles of Kwanzaa. 

Although storytelling is well versed in the history of many cultures, we specialize in African American history. Genealogical research, personal experience, superior communication, and performing arts skills combine to bring the audience a sense of awareness and education about people and culture.
The contribution of African and African American history has played a significant role in America. In an effort to promote diversity and education of the African American experience, Jali Enterprises seeks to influence others by bridging differences between cultures while promoting tolerance. Performing arts provides a captivating medium to provide perspective assisting with conflict resolution, diversity, acknowledgment, and acceptance.

Adults and children from many cultures and nationalities have only heard select segments of African and African American history. The Jali Podcast seeks to expand the dialogue, educate, and culture people about the contributions of Africans throughout the world.
