🚨🚨🚨 Earnest thread alert! 🚨🚨🚨 I’ve been working on this for a few months and it’s finally done and out in the world. I’ve been thinking about belief, tradition, and faith basically my whole life; and I’ve been on a journey that will probably continue for years to come.
Going to a white church in a Black body. That's what our play-cousin J.C. Howard (@TheJCHoward) gets into on this week's episode. And J.C. digs into the spiritual journey of Dante Stewart (@stewartdantec), who started and ended in a very similar place. npr.org/2023/06/08/118101258…

Also, for those who listened to the @pchh where I chat with @idislikestephen & @thecandicelim about the new @TheHungerGames movie, here’s the exact moment 3 years ago that I had that epiphany about BOSAS… npr.org/2023/11/17/119795830…
Finished reading Suzanne Collins’ new Hunger Games prequel recently and I CANNOT stop thinking about how good a TV show it’d make. I’m already writing it in my head if anyone is interested. And it is dope!

If you told me 3 years ago that @thecandicelim and I would be on the same show, I would not have been surprised at all. But if you told me she’d be talking about having the hots for a sexy war criminal, I’d have said, ā€œI expect no less.ā€

Late to the conversation, but @stewartdantec ā€˜s chat w/ @TheJCHoward via @NPRCodeSwitch on Going to a white church in a Black body is good! I was/am navigating aspects of it myself & trying to make sense of it in light of current ā€œbridgingā€ endeavors. Tension on multiple levels.

We don't agree on every scent, but this is one @thecandicelim gave me as a gift; and I STILL have it on my desk! Bath & Body Works hive rise up…and listen to Candice’s treatise!

Someone probably: There’s no such thing as a perfect Tiny Desk concert. @juviethegreat: Watch me cook.

Let me say something clearly for those who think affirmative action gave Black people and other POC an unfair leg up (or at least gave the appearance of such): I am Black. I didn’t go to Harvard. Because I wasn’t fucking qualified. Ta-da.

Normally, I do not work on Tuesdays. But for certain people I will make an exception! For @idriselba I will wake up on my day off. You’re going to want to tune in to this interview on Sunday!
