Dear Mamas & Magic Makers,

Lissen yall Sinners was all about Annie for us!  We ain’t gon hold you with our normal intro.

In this episode we dive into:

• Annie, power, and Black motherhood
• Loss, longing, and sex
• Black humanity, spirituality, and grief in Ryan Coogler’s films
• Black migration & the resurgence of Southern Roots

PLUS - we have social proof that a Black mama would have made a COMPLETELY different decision than Grace.

And we’re excited to have some listeners on The Muthaship, live inside the Black Mama Magic room for this episode.  We welcome:

• Clem the Doula, doula and creator of The Gift: A Breastfeeding Journey in Black, a cultural care circle for Black families navigating feeding, healing and identity.
• Stacey Allen, founder of Nia’s Daughters’ Dance Collective 
• Stephanie Ghoston Paul, founder of Cultivated Sense, where she helps movement makers embody their joy while operating as their freest selves.
