This is one of my most joyful episodes of this show thus far! I've longed to capture the vibe shared between my mentor and friend, Dr. T and I. Wherever we go together we are loud. Period. Dr. T is the main reason I decided to go to grad school and use books to curse out wypipo while on the clock. We’ve been making history together ever since our first meeting where she prepared me to "transcend" above and beyond all things cosmetic "diversity and inclusion." I selected Dr. T as one of the star guest for 1708 Gallery's Inlight 2020 Exhibition, becuz she's both a big part of Everyday Black Matter film and constructing the theories I'm building expertise on in my  Blackademic writing...listen to hear more on this. 

This episode is about love and the importance of holding space to just be with those who inspire you, who see you clearly, and who always have something to say that makes you show up at work the next day wit just a bit more step in your walk. I am so greatful for this Black woman. Honestly, truly pour a cup of whatever you're sipping on these days and get into this vibe. It's an episode for the gurls, the Aunty's, and Black Mama's too.
