Truth Be Told Live

Truth Be Told is KQED's new advice podcast by and for people of color.

It’s like the friend you call after a long, exhausting day – the one who will laugh, cry, bitch and moan with you. The one who gets it when you ask...

Am I having sex with my boyfriend, or am I actually sleeping with white supremacy?
Am I having a kid just to make mi mamá happy?
Is it okay to feel joy when the world is burning?

If Miss Manners tells you how to blend in and behave, Truth Be Told explores how you can be your authentic self in a world that doesn’t always want you to be. Got a question or issue you want to talk about?

Join us for cocktail hour and live show of Truth Be Told!

Host Tonya Mosley will unpack audience questions, digging into what it means not just to survive, but thrive -- through conversations with wise ones from our community, performances by local artists, and solid advice. Featuring comedian Dhaya Lakshminarayanan, tech executive Bäri Williams, curator and creative strategist Ashara Ekundayo, and Pastor Marvin K. White.

Submit a problem, question, or quandary to Tonya, and you just might get people talking!

Cocktail hour starts at 6:00PM, with live show at 7:00PM.
