It’s our 100th episode! What better way to celebrate than taking y’all behind the poetry of one of my favorite poems, Our Own Potluck. Listen in on how envisioned a living room of Black women led me to write this poem and how much our love the living room we have here on the podcast. Thanks for listening for 100 episodes!
