  • Joy, joy, joy!

    I came to the DBM’s podcast party way late - so the first episode I listened to was the Election episode that aired on the sister pod “Shaping the Shift” and I’ve been hooked ever since. The synergy between these Black Mama’s is to be treasured. Tackling difficult topics with such heart, humor and a pinch of shade makes this one of the most delightful and delectable podcasts I consume each day...cause yeah, now I’m binge listening the whole series. Lucky me! Thanks y’all - DrL
