From creating motivational pep talks as a teenager to being named one of TIME’s 100 Most Influential Creators of 2025, Taylor Cassidy shares how she’s reshaping the way people connect to Black history — making it relatable, joyful, and deeply personal. She opens up about her upbringing, the inspiration behind her viral videos, and why history should never feel distant or disconnected from our lives today.
Taylor also talks about her new book, “Black History Is Your History,” and the message she hopes every reader walks away with: You don’t just learn history — you can make it.
