This week Brendane is byke to talk about death. In this long-awaited episode, we wade through European and non-European schools of thought to create a Black feminist spiritual-political definition of Death/death and Life/life. (Death ain’t the end, y’all. It’s a new beginning.) We explore the testimony of Sharon P. Holland's Raising the Dead: Readings of Death and (Black) Subjectivity and Audre Lorde's The Cancer Journals. In our Living in Alignment segment, we have our first listener reading for C. Thank you for being willing and vulnerable. Finally, we end with some questions for compassionate self-reflection.  Share this episode with a friend who’s been through a tough winter. Encourage them that death always leads to a new beginning.  Follow the podcast on Instagram @blacklovedandfree.
