Making sense of other people's memory.

Unconsumables.

wherein, this one we go solo again. Uncle 360 talmbout Black male vulnerability while reflecting on the Fruitvale Station screening and panel discussion the night before. the illustrious panel consisted of Abena Sankofa Imhotep, B. Well, Andre Davis, Matthew Maté Bruce, Pastor Brian Brown, and the spirit of Oscar Grant, àṣẹ. it was a blessing to be in community with everyone there.   i asked the question, "what does it feel like to be seen as consumable?" peace ya'll ❤️🖤💚

The Uncle David episode, 1/n.

wherein, this one we welcome my Uncle David to the show. we've been foreshadowing and looking forward to this one. this episode is about family lore, memory keeping, role models, encyclopedias, and pheasant feathers. don't wait, talk to your elders.  peace ya'll ❤️🖤💚

Talmbout grief, mourning, and metabolizing loss.

wherein, this one we welcome back the homie Cameron Gray. Cam reached out because he needed to process some grief. i'm honored that he would choose me as a friend and BGWIO as a space to process the weight of loss. we ring the bell for Bama Gray and pray her travels are consecrated, the ancestors' embrace is warm, and God's peace prevails. àṣẹ.  peace ya'll ❤️🖤💚

Making sense of other people's memory.

wherein, this one is just me again. i wanted to talk with my Uncle Dave, but he couldn't make it (yet). so, instead, i talked about what my Uncle has taught me—through instruction, example, and caveat. this is about memory, caution, and those people who teach us where to go—even when they don't realize it.

A Sabbatical to Myself.

Wherein, this one i fly solo again. i'm at the beginning of a retreat into myself. a path to self-love and self-parenting. sunrises over epiphanies. lucid dreams. the gravity of non-metabolized sadness. i hope you gain something from this work.    peace y'all ❤️🖤💚
