Who Deserves a Second Chance? Justice & Defending the People Society Gives Up On
RISE Urban Nation is more than a podcast—it’s a cultural media platform dedicated to amplifying Black and Pan-African voices across the diaspora. Hosted by Taryell Simmons, the show brings together entrepreneurs, nonprofit leaders, innovators, and changemakers who are rewriting the narrative of success in real time.

Educator, author, and filmmaker Dr. Khalid White, founder of Black in Power, shares why Black history is living and still being written. He and Taryell Simmons discuss his book and film on Black fatherhood, closing the literacy gap with culturally relevant books, and completing his ten-year goal of ten books and five films.
