Darius Caffey is making moves at Chicago Access Network Television with a new program titled The Table On Air.

He's the host of the show focusing on the work and accomplishments of Black LGBTQ+ members of the community. Since its launch in the spring, the talk show has become the most-watched signature program on CAN TV.

Being out and proud has paid off for Caffey, a South Side native who grew up in the Rosalind area before moving to the Dolton area. He went to school at the University of Missouri, where he graduated with bachelor's degrees in sociology and psychology. He is also a policy and management expert along as well as a skilled education equity specialist.

After finishing school Caffey started an anthology blog called The Closet Unlocked, which was designed to amplify the voices of queer, Black, trans and non-binary people. He described it as "leaning into the representation space while doing research to build collaboration within the community."
