Excellent podcast

I highly recommend this podcast! Lisa brings warmth and authenticity while always centering Black women and femmes. As a sewist, I enjoy learning from her guests and tips from Lisa herself. This podcast is a great combination of sewing and a celebration of Black women. Thank you Lisa! (Also her theme song makes me dance every time. :) )
