Book Club!!! We read Nina Simone's autobiography: I Put A Spell On You, and are coming at you with one queer ass book report! How many times can we say "Singular?" Well, take a listen and find out as we etch our new knowledge onto the Mount Rushmore of Divas. We travel from North Carolina to Barbados, from New York to Paris and Liberia to learn about the life and legacy of this complex, beautiful, century shifting virtuoso. We let her own words and story re-contextualize how we listen to her music. So come hear about her days with Lorraine Hansberry, her nights with Odetta, her improvs with Al Shackman and her protests with James Baldwin as we pay tribute to the genius, Nina, who put a spell on us all.
