What does it mean to embrace a love ethic? To use it to heal from collective histories of betrayal? Jaimie and Sunny explore the cycles of pain and shame that inform both American history and their individual personal identities. They discuss the wisdom of Black feminist sage bell hooks and how those cycles might be broken.
