Hey friends, today we’re going to be releasing our final episode of the pod—an interview with each other! We’re so proud of what we created here and so thankful to all of you for listening with us through three seasons.

We wanted to created a space out of love by black women for black women and that’s exactly what we did. This show meant so much because of your participation and enthusiasm.

This week we’re learning about the black movement histories behind popular fashion innovations and everyday items black people have championed from denim jeans to door knocker earrings, hoodies and trucker hats. With the flyest cultural historian @SoulistaPhD!

This week we’re getting introspective with media mogul, writer and thinker @RaquelWillis_! She came on to talk about the future of rethinking gender roles in the black community. A great convo for envisioning a new normal 💕 https://t.co/peUrf4wztG

This week we’re talking about decolonizing climate activism with 18 yr old national organizer / Howard freshman @Elsamengistu ! Let’s get into it y’all! Such a good one https://t.co/tpKWoQe6Lr

We also talk about the wide range of things we can grieve: loss of an opportunity, a home, a loved one, or even a stranger. And how to make sense of it all

[The Secret Lives of Black Women @theslbw]

Today’s episode is the very special second half of our conversation about managing grief with Detroit staple Etta Fly! She runs a grief circle for black women out of her family-owned sweet potato restaurant. She came through to teach us about how we can create space too.

[The Secret Lives of Black Women @theslbw]

This week we’re starting a two part series on the ways that black women manage grief and loss. We learned so much in the process of talking to licensed grief counselor Keisha Wells, we hope you all get something good out of it in our heavy times! 💛💛https://t.co/C2BNw9oFaW
