  • The Creative Power of the Black Woman: Michelle Obama & The 2016 Election
    Hey, Pearls! Happy Friday! Our sound is not the best in this episode. We were mourning the loss of our favorite First Family. We spent this show celebrating black womanhood and all that Michelle Obama has done to uplift traditional understandings of who black women are and what we have the potential to be. We also have some recommendations about where Sasha Obama should go to college, a women's college perhaps? We are so grateful to the entire Obama family and Bo and the other dog (lol)! His name is Sunny (sorry Sunny!) Enjoy the show and remember to cultivate the pearl within you.
