The Story with Charu

What are the stories we are told and what are the stories we believe? In most newsrooms across the world there is a morning meeting where reporters discuss the most important stories of the day and which ones to put resources into covering. We live in a time where information comes at us fast. It’s hard to take a breath or know what to trust. Knowledge is power, and when you know better you do better. I want to explore the questions we need to be asking, the stories we need to hear and what exactly is the truth.

Black Southern Belle: Southern Bred, Soul Infused

August 05, 2021 • Charu Kumarhia/Michiel Perry • Season 8 • Episode 6

Michiel Perry is a South Carolina girl who loves all things Southern and stylish. When she started plannng her Charleston wedding and decorating her first home she realized that there was not enough out there about being Black and Southern - even though most African-Americans can trace their roots in the American South.

That spurred her to create the digital lifestyle brand Black Southern Belle. Black Southern Belle has been featured on HGTV, Essence, Black Enterprise, Draper James, Apartment Therapy, Brides, Today, Levo League, AOL Lifestyle Collective, and more. They’ve also done marketing campaigns with Pure Leaf, American Express, Gildan, Walmart, and various Fortune 500 companies.

In this interview Perry talks about how there is more to the American South than meets the eye.
