About This Podcast
Wait, I’m Black?! is a podcast about the moments when race stops being abstract and starts to matter.
It’s a reflective space with warmth, humour, and honest conversations that make visible how race shows up in everyday life – sometimes quietly, sometimes suddenly, and sometimes only understood years later.
Hosted by Michael Buraimoh, the series centres on the moment, or series of moments, when race shifts from a neutral descriptor to something consequential: when it begins to shape how one is perceived, treated, or afforded opportunity.
While grounded in the host’s experience as a Black person, the podcast intentionally creates space for voices across racially minoritised communities, recognising both shared patterns and important differences in how race is lived and felt.
Episodes prioritise lived experience over theory, and reflection over prescription. If you or someone you know has a “Wait, I’m Black?!” moment you’d like to talk about on the podcast, you are welcome to reach out.
