Bereavement. The word even sounds heavy. Unfortunately, it’s one that we all know too well. Tune in to hear an interview with two new, young widows and how they have navigated the painful process of grieving and living through loss.

What is it to be Black? We are not a monolith, we come from different areas of the country, but yet there is a commonality that exists in the way we laugh, dance, and carry ourselves. It’s as coded in our DNA as the color of our eyes, evident in the automatic head nod when entering the room. Join the ladies of GOODSTOCK as they play a competitive and hilarious game of Black Card Revoked. Black folks - get in on the fun by weighing in on the answers. Allies – enjoy this unfiltered peek behind the curtain of black culture.

And on a more serious note - you’ve got two more days to vote. If you haven’t already, go cast your ballot!
