1 hr 30 min - BAPC | Lakiesha Carr | Episode 108 | "Circuitous"
BAPC x Lakiesha Carr
An Autobiography of Skin by Lakiesha Carr is what we like to call fine art. It was classical and fresh. Full of pain & pleasure. Struggle & Progress. Love & Fear. A work that is bound to stand the test of time as long as the right readers continue to read and champion the work. This conversation, like the book itself, is a work of Fine Art that encompasses all of the topics referenced above & then some.
