Welcome to a new season of To Be Continued: Troubling the Archive! We kick off this season with a conversation between host Anna Shah Hoque and Jade Sullivan, host of the podcast My Intersectional Opinion (@myintersectionalopinion).
This first episode serves as a framework for Season 3. In the next eleven episodes we will talk about diasporic longing and ancestral inheritances. We will think together about how we make memories with each other for each other, and tune into stories that were set to the side.
We’ll also talk about the community building that is possible for Black, Brown and Indigenous communities, work that evades borders and barriers. This season is an opportunity, broadly speaking, to put our truths and the journeys to ourselves on air.
