On episode four of Stay Reading, we were joined by runner and podcaster Kate Van Buskirk (@k8vbeast) and photographic artist Adeyemi Adegbesan (@yung.yemi). Our conversation opened with a quote from Dionne Brand about the way the writing of Toni Morrison transformed the English language, we dove into a discussion about vulnerability sparked by Brené Brown and Jenn Nkiru, and we spoke about the elements of Octavia Butler’s late 90’s science fiction writing that we find ourselves living in the times we are in.
