This Lit Chat was an incredible chat with Winsome Bingham, author of the amazing children's book, Soul Food Sunday. Join us as we heard all about Winsome's story, her unmoving intention to write stories that cover difficult subjects that can be understood and centers young people. 

An in-depth observation of Black Cinema, The Blaxploitation Era, the explosion of Street and Urban Literature, and ultimately the impact that it has made on Gangster Rap and Hip-Hop Culture at-large. This episode begins with a brief history of the Father of Black Cinema, Oscar Michaeux, and concludes with the explosion of the Blaxploitation Era of the 70s.

It wouldn't be me, if I didn't talk about love and really what's it all about. This observation is centering our relationship to love as Black folks, and what can be seen and heard about that fantastical almighty thing -- love.
