What do Brands Really Do? - Black & Blue Podcast Episode 1.

What happens when brands promote themselves as “eco-friendly” or “natural” while continuing harmful environmental practices? In the first episode of Black N’ Blue, we explore the difference between what brands say and what they actually do. From greenwashing to fast fashion, this conversation examines how marketing can shape consumer choices while hiding the real impact on our planet and blue spaces.

Created by young researchers through Black ESTEEM, Black N’ Blue brings together real research and honest conversations about environmental justice, sustainability, and the everyday choices that affect our oceans, waterways, and coastal environments.

This podcast highlights the power of Black girls using their voices to lead meaningful conversations about the environment, community, and change.
