I loved the podcast. Reading black women writers have been a balm to my soul. I always felt as if they knew me… I could relate. Reading has brought me through bad times… I have always found solace and more importantly JOY!
Amanda,
So glad you enjoyed! This one was a lot of fun to put together. Any particular writers that are resonating with you right now? We’re always looking for new recommendations or rereads!
Excellent
What a joyous episode! This discussion warmed my heart and stimulated my brain. Glory is fabulous and created a sitting-round-the-kitchen-table hanging out with friends environment in my ears. I have loved Nikki for decades – since I first read the poems Nikki-Rosa and Knoxville, Tennessee. Loved her stories today. Her references to so many great writers has me pulling anthologies and books from my bookshelves and online ordering others. Excellent job by both women!
