  • Loved the episode with Ayana!

    I just finished listening to an episode interviewing Ayana Major Bey and I absolutely loved it! From the wedding crashing story, to the discussion of theater and performance as craft (I have a PhD in Theater so I could listen to this topic ALL DAY LONG), to contemplating grad school, and even the importance of mentorship. Amazing! I look forward to tuning into more episodes.
