This first episode features a reading of the first Love Bravely Substack article, “Love Bravely: An Introduction.” It tells the story of an inspiring encounter with legendary rapper, educator, and cultural leader, KRS-One, and explores the power of love as a force—a presence with which we can cultivate a relationship, and which is essential for deep-reaching social change.
