Ep 01 - What's Love Got to Do With It?

It wouldn't be me, if I didn't talk about love and really what's it all about. This observation is centering our relationship to love as Black folks, and what can be seen and heard about that fantastical almighty thing -- love. Is it something that we are supposed to be rational about, or irrational about? Or is something we choose to do vs something that happens to us?  The Reading List:  1. All About Love by bell hooks 2. The Spirit of Intimacy by Sobu Somé 3. The Will to Change by bell hooks 4. For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide/When The Rainbow Is Enuf by Ntozake Shange 5. Black Joy: Stories of Resistance, Resilience, and Restoration by Tracey Michea'l Lewis-Giggetts 6. Yonder by Jabari Asim 7.
