The AphroChic Podcast
Jeanine Hays and Bryan Mason are the founders of AphroChic, a brand focused on celebrating the history and cultures of the African Diaspora through modern media and design. Following the release of their bestselling book, AphroChic: Celebrating the Legacy of the Black Family Home, hailed as “one of the most important design books of our time,” the couple is expanding the conversation on Black life. Hosted from the library of their AphroFarmhouse, each month Hays and Mason sit down with creatives, innovators and tastemakers from across the African Diaspora, discussing Black culture, art, food, fashion, music, wellness, society and homes, exploring new paradigms that can help us all design a better world.
