    Please know that I’m not the only white woman who understands that respecting the strengths and gifts of Brown/Black women is our proper role now.

    In voting, in choosing who to listen deeply with, and where our resources might best be shared…

  • Disappointed :(

    Started listening last year and the episodes abruptly stopped. Reached out to the hosts on IG to make sure all was well and tell them we missed them! Today, I see a new upload and get excited only to click and it’s a random ad/promo type deal. No warming us up- straight to the bag! :/
