Welcome to the first episode of We Need To Talk About This Podcast! Queen Zee, the host, provides the context of the podcast. She shares the purpose of the platform, where she got the idea, and some other random tidbits that connect back to the bigger picture. It's not every day you debut the pilot episode! Remember: You don’t have to be an expert for your voice to matter. We need to talk about this backstory.

In this episode, I mentioned reading. Here are some of the books and authors I recommend:

"I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings" by Maya Angelou

"Indian Horse" by Richard Wagamese

"Their Eyes Were Watching God" by Zora Neale Hurston

"Parable of the Sower" by Octavia Butler

"Homemade Love" by J California Cooper (the author Jill Scott introduced me to)
