Generational Yap
At Melanated Minds, we’re excited to launch our new YouTube series, Generational Yap, a platform that brings together voices from different age groups within the community. Our aim is to foster understanding, mutual respect, and a deep connection across generations, from Baby Boomers to Gen Z and even glimpses of Gen Alpha. This series addresses important questions about identity, respect, and love while exploring how each generation shapes, and is shaped by, our shared cultural journey.
