The Upside: Body of Work 01.30.19
I speak with Emily Bernard - the author of a new collection of essays: Black is the Body: Stories from My Grandmother's Time, My Mother's Time, and Mine. We are talking about writing, book launches, identity, motherhood, friendship, and more.
The music selections are inspired by the book, and feature songs of relationships, home, and personal journeys by Jill Scott, Wilco, Esperanza Spalding, and Akalé Wubé.
