    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…

    So thank you for this show, and your powerfully vulnerable voices.

  • 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! :/
