1. Expression Is Our Birthright

In our very first episode, we start our conversation on the ways we withhold our right to expression, particularly through our stories. Inspired by an essay written by Stephanie Fields, who theorizes how time hasn't always been kind to Black women storytellers of our past, I break down the truth of this thought, highlighting our greats and how they were not afforded the support, freedom, and confidence to be artists. How the fight to simply be killed them, whether in body, mind and/or spirit, right at the brink of true exploration. How we of this generation own the privilege to dream and dream big, and how we can take advantage of it.
