Back like we never left! This episode (and the next 3 to follow) are about capturing and archiving moments of (new) Black joy that I (chaz) and experiencing and learning from while I spend some time in Philadelphia for a short jig at the University of Pennsylvania. 

Meet my new friend, Jolie Garret. Jolie is a theater artist and Philadelphia's sweetheart, who was been such a welcoming spirit as I get my bearings in a new place and in a new chapter of life. We all meet that person at a local gay bar where we just feel like we've known each other forever...learn from their stories! 

*Also, for the gurls, be sure catch the extended tea at the very end of the episode! Jolie had some 'after dark' kiki about men to share! 

Non Black Folks: You like what you hear? Did you learn something? You want to support Jolie? Send him some love: Venmo: @Jolie-Garrett and Cashap: $JolieGarrett
