Hey there BNA listeners. I hope you're all doing your best during these difficult times. 

Today we bring to you a different kind of BW episode. Black N Animated was reached out to by Verbum Dei High School, an all boys Catholic, Jesuit, college and career preparatory school in LA. They wanted to hear what we had to say about working in the animation industry and what advice we could give for those in high school still investigating their careers, and college prep.  

Join Bre, Waymond, Lorraine and Neil as they offer some good words of advice and as per usual, get some anime knowledge in there. 

Any youngsters still in high school looking into animation, this is the episode for you!

It's a family thing.. a family...Black N Animated~ 

Hey there animation family, we're back again this week with another BW, WB..( It's been three seasons... it don't matter) episode.  This time Bre and Way take a look at another Bruce W Smith classic. One that a lot of young black folks grew up watching in the early 2000s on Disney Channel. The Proud Family! 

 Here a little discussion about 3 episodes  "Behind Family Lines", "I had a Dream", and "Culture Shock." Each episode diving into something relevant to all our lives.  The different types of family dynamics within black culture, Islamophobia following the attacks on 9/11 and how we can convey the message of unity to young children, and teaching kids about racism and black struggles.

Hey howdy hey it's that time again! However we're mixing things up a little bit here on this second to last episode of the season ( *GASP* ). Instead of a BW episode we've got another dope interview for you!

   This week Bre and Way have a great chat with India Animator Chaz Bottoms. A fellow Chicagoan like Bre , Chaz has made the great leap to the west coast and has been here making waves.  He's started his own remote, freelance studio, directed and produced various shorts, and a feature.. he's constantly working on various projects for clients on the web and has started to create a community of animators to do business together with.  You don't want to miss this episode, proving that for the Indie life there's a will and a way and Chaz is certain do that and more.
