#TSRLive: #CariChampion got real on why Black women are consistently left off the list of top-earning podcasters 👀

Despite Black women driving pop culture discourse and pulling in massive numbers, Cari broke down the systemic gaps in media—explaining how mega-million dollar acquisition deals rarely come our way because corporate executives avoid unapologetic Black voices and uncomfortable truths.

She also pointed out that while monetization requires live shows, merch, and paid subscriptions, true change requires the community to actively support and invest in Black-owned platforms rather than just telling creators to “go build their own.” #Roomies, do y’all agree with Cari’s take on the podcasting industry? 🗣️👇🏾
