Dear White People,

Though it may burden you, You simply must understand...

To wrap up Black History Month, We (Renee & Jem) invite you to listen in on one of our more personal conversations surrounding Black Identity and the interrelationship of black & whiteness, motivated by the cultural essay of the Late James Baldwin.

Profound beyond his years, Baldwin touches on a undeniable truth of how identity shapes American Society that, especially after the recent election, remains relevant even 70+ years later.

To our Black Listeners, We See You. To everyone Else... Be open... and Enjoy.
