Constance and Jo chat with the AMAZING Dr. Elaine Richardson (https://twitter.com/DoctaE1) about everything from hip hop literacies to reclaiming our time. Among other things, Docta E,discusses her current and future research projects, and what she does in her “down” time– in this case, attending a Sy Smith concert in Atlanta.
