The Maine’s Black Future podcast boldly visits stories of historic Black Mainers and the legacies they carved into the state. Then we connect this longstanding history to Black changemakers weaving Maine’s Black future today!
We define terminology, keep it real, and invite you to connect deeply with Black Mainers creating the future that we want to live in. We showcase Black excellence occurring all over Maine and feature original music production from the GEM CITY Maine collective, throughout.
Host Genius Black opens the first episode of The Maine Monitor’s new podcast, Maine’s Black Future, with a historical look at the life of London Atus, a Machias resident in the late 1700s who purchased his freedom and fought in the Revolutionary War. Atus would help create the settlement of Atusville.
Later in the episode, Genius sits down with Portland resident Alfine Nathalie, a holistic health provider who was born in Kenya and raised in Maine.
