Busy Being Black means the search for possibility and meaning in our lives is endless. In part two of my conversation with Marc Thompson, a gay Black elder, HIV activist and writer, we wax lyrical on everything from our favourite books to the role cultural appropriation can play in how we better understand and bump into our history. If you haven’t yet listened to our first conversation, I Have a Virus Older Than You, it’s a wonderful precursor to our chat today. Throughout this conversation, we’re a bit more profligate in our swearing, as the effect of our wine-guzzling takes hold.

Busy Being Black is the podcast exploring how we live in the fullness of our queer Black lives.
