Sweeter the Juice is an online web series that is a celebration of Black experiences around the world. The series focuses on how racism and colorism (among other issues) shape Black communities, with an emphasis on their impact on Black women and families. The goal of the series is to leave viewers feeling empowered and inspired by discussing current events and highlighting individuals, initiatives, and companies who challenge negative stereotypes and promote racial equality.
Hosted by Dr. Elizabeth Hordge-Freeman, this pioneering series recognizes that Black communities around the world are connected, so it includes international guests (with interviews in English, Spanish, and Portuguese) who highlight the linkages between global Black communities.
She has guest lectured at numerous universities including Spelman College, Hampton, Harvard, Brown, Columbia, Cornell, the Federal University of Bahia, and the PUC-Rio Grande do Sul, among others. She is an Associate Professor of Sociology at the University of South Florida.
Building on her expertise, this web series showcases global Black voices to cultivate a space for Black unity, solidarity, and liberation.
