Zen Trap Chat | 12 12 22 | Tony Warner Black History Walks

Welcome back for another Zen Trap Chat (ZTC). We have a special guest from our Zen Trap Travels beginnings in London doing a black history walk, our guide and the creator of the walks, Mr. Tony Warner. We took some time to discuss the reason for starting black history walks, writing the book, and all the work he's doing to get black historical facts recognized in the U.K. and around the world. Tune in and let us know what you think in the comments!
