Black to Basics by the African American & African Studies Community Extension Centre at the Ohio State University, is a  podcast where healing, heritage, and holistic empowerment intersect. This is a podcast that is not so much about talk, but about connection, culture, and community. On each episode, we dive into the real stories, struggles, strengths, cultural roots, daily victories, wellness barriers, and bold aspirations framing the lives of Black Columbus communities. This is more than a podcast—it's a healing, action, and empowerment movement. It's where authentic voices ignite authentic change, where stories give rise to strength, and where wellness is not just discussed, it's lived, shared, and celebrated in community.

Grounded in OSU's 10 Dimensions of Wellness, from emotional and physical health, to career, creative, spiritual, and even financial empowerment, we're going beyond surface talk for a deeper dive—because our wellness is multi-dimensional, and our stories are multi-generational.

Prepare to hear from neighbors, academics, business leaders, game-changers, professionals, students, and many more—offering knowledge, access to resources, and lived experience that provokes action and reflection. So, if you're in search of real healing, growth, and unapologetic truth-telling—Black to Basics Podcast is for you!
