- On Uncompromising Blackness
The return is here and its coming in with a bang. In this introductory episode we catch you up on what we’ve been up to, introduce the idea of uncompromising Blackness as an everyday practice and speculate about what constitutes Black futurity. If you missed hearing our lovely voices, you will definitely enjoy the good fun, ‘guerrilla’ theorizing and much needed soul work.
If you wanna get featured in an episode, please send us a voice message about what a Black world looks like for you. Email us at [email protected]
