Ayomide, is a sonic collage that explores the joyous moments and memories of three generations of Black women.

The short story was written and performed by poet and playwright Lanaire Aderemi, featuring two important women in her life, her mother Adebimpe Aderemi and her grandma, Adenike Sangosanya.

In this episode, creative producer, Rennae Walker and guest artist Lanaire Aderemi discuss their personal, communal and cultural experience of black joy --- particularly how it takes shape in music, dance and in the art of archiving memories.
