The first episode will highlight the basics of voting, the importance of local officials, the challenges presented by misinformation, and the power of the Black Vote. Included in the first episode are Chris Paul, Jordan Brand family member, and Baratunde Thurston, writer and activist. 

REAL TALK will also introduce a manifesto film that will feature Jordan Brand employees, athletes, and Michael Jordan, all expressing the Brand’s overall stance and unwavering commitment to drive actionable change across our entire Black Community Commitment.
