About that Spooky Life

Black history is full of stories that’ll make the hair on the back of your neck stand up. Not because of ghosts but because they actually happened! We’re joined by podcast hosts Deante Kyle (Grits & Eggs), Big Ice Cup Kat (Grits & Eggs), comedian Jamila Bell and creator Lynae Vanee who each share a shocking true tale. Who’s a defiant person you think we should feature on the show? Or do you have a story about someone who inspired you to be “about that life"? Leave us a voicemail at 814-326-2866.
