Welcome back Saints and Aint's In this episode of Music and Makeup, I sit down with Kevito Clark, founder of Love, Peace & Games: Play It Forward and the visionary behind Love, Peace & Spades LA. We talk about creating intentional third spaces for Black joy, healing, and connection through timeless games like Spades, Bid Whist, and Dominoes. Kevito shares the story behind the movement, how he built a cultural sanctuary in LA, and why reclaiming play is essential for community and legacy.
