Today we’ll be talking to the authors of the newsletter This Black-Ass Life, Mitu and Jumoke. For the past several years, these two friends have been writing for the Black diaspora, especially Black women. They cover pop culture, history lessons, music, and more. This episode will be a great fit for anyone interested in starting a newsletter and learning how to connect with their audience.

This episode contains some language that may not be appropriate for all audiences. If you're sensitive to strong language or listening with children, you may want to consider one of our other episodes instead.
