There are race books, and there are beach reads, and on this ep, we strove to find the overlap in that Venn diagram (with varying degrees of success 😂)

Listen, and in the replies let us know what your favorite identity + beach reads are this summer 👇🏾

Going to a white church in a Black body. That's what our play-cousin J.C. Howard (@TheJCHoward) gets into on this week's episode. And J.C. digs into the spiritual journey of Dante Stewart (@stewartdantec), who started and ended in a very similar place.

This Mental Health Awareness Month began with the killing of Jordan Neely, a mentally ill man in crisis. His death, and so many others like it, made us want to explore what it looks like to navigate the world with a mental health disorder when you’re Black

[Jamyla Krempel @JamylaK]

Listened to this @NPRCodeSwitch episode this morning and still thinking about it. Much respect to Naomi Jackson, @aparkusfarce and everyone involved in making this.

AND! We want to hear from you! Reply to this tweet or email us at [email protected] and let us know how you all practice self-care — or, think you do 😘

[NPR's Code Switch @NPRCodeSwitch]

This week on the pod: What is REAL self-care? Because, as Dr. Pooja Lakshmin sadly informed us, you can’t meditate (or bubble bath 🛀🏿 or yoga-retreat🧘🏿‍♀️) yourself out of a full-time job with no childcare or sick days 🥲
