Or how our racial identity is immensely influenced by the dominant society, politics, and religion? Or even the difference between ethnicity and race? The black experience is a beautiful complexity and we get to celebrate every nuance on the show. Join us as we discuss the intersectionality of blackness and the various experiences shared by our guests. Bringing you culture, intellect, and fun at the same damn time.

311 The Rose That Grew From Concrete ft. LeXander Bryant

July 19, 2022 • Season 3 • Episode 311

This episode is just so calming to listen to. The best adjective for it was: soulful. It felt like we were sitting outside in the backyard on a Sunday afternoon just chopping it up. And sipping on some good drank, of course. Lexander Bryant has become a legend in Nashville & rightfully so. He recently had an art show in one of Nashville’s most prominent museums for almost 5 months. His exhibition, Forget Me Nots, addresses themes of perseverance amid adversity, family structures and bonds, economic inequality, community activism, and more. So you already know we had to dig into all of those things in this episode today..which we did. Excited for y’all to hear this one so sit back and enjoy it.
