About this episode

USC junior Princess Isis Lang started the Cardinal Divas of ‘SC, the school’s new majorette dance team, for her and other Black women on campus. After a video of the team went viral on Twitter, critics didn’t agree with her bringing something rooted in HBCU culture to a predominantly white institution. Host Roy Wood Jr. sits with host of “The HBCU Band Experience” podcast, Dr. Christy A. Walker, and star of Lifetime’s Bring It!, Dianna Williams, to discuss the challenges of creating safe Black spaces on predominantly white college campuses.
