Ep 01 - What's Love Got to Do With It?

Listen Later

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. Is it something that we are supposed to be rational about, or irrational about? Or is something we choose to do vs something that happens to us?
