This week my childhood friend Tony and I "unpack" sections of a legendary discussion between Nikki Giovanni and James Baldwin that aired in 1971 on a show about black issues called "Soul". This episode includes 3 audio excerpts from Giovanni and Baldwin's original discussion. We touch on the Black Woman's "need" for love and the Black Man's need for her "staying power" when he may not be able to give her that love. Throughout the discussion we seamlessly connect this discussion from 50 years ago to the same conflicts that occur today. We also discuss real life connections to the "staying power" that was present in both of our families as well as many other Black families in past generations.

Timestamps from Giovanni and Baldwin Conversation:
