    How in the world did we get here? Wypipologist Michael Harriot breaks it all down in TheGrio Daily.

The journalist, poet, author, TV writer, and Black Twitter King does not hold back when he explains the systems and issues that affect Black people daily. From white supremacy, police brutality, and gun violence, Michael Harriot is not afraid to say the quiet part out loud.  TheGrio Daily is an original podcast by TheGrio Black Podcast Network.
