*Trigger Warning - this episode contains themes of sexual and physical violence.

This week Antoinette is joined by artist, writer, and pod fave Joél Leon. After some unfortunate news from back home, Antoinette looks to Joél to help make sense of some of it all and questions whether or not Questlove was right when he said women and children are often collateral damage when it comes to hip-hop. A listener voicemail leads them into an interesting political debate until finally they discuss his much-anticipated book Everything and Nothing at Once- A Black Man's Reimagined Soundtrack for the Future. Joél generously tackles everything from the body positivity movement not yet including men to his recovery & healing from childhood sexual abuse. Join us.
