Hey well read baddies! In this minisode, we’re joined by Abigail Franks and Mareshah Malcom—the dynamic duo behind Climate Justice Y’all—for a conversation that flips the script on environmentalism as we know it.
Together, we explore the real meaning of climate justice, how systemic inequality fuels the crisis, and why Southern communities are not just surviving but leading the charge. From eco-villages and resilience hubs to the role of storytelling and Southern identity, Abby and Mareshah remind us that climate work isn’t just policy—it’s people, power, and radical care.
Whether you're just starting your climate journey or looking for new ways to stay hopeful, this is the minisode for you.

Hey well read baddies! She’s baaaaack! Dating and relationship expert, podcast host, and author Damona Hoffman returns for another #Black365 ep and for a much-needed update on love in the year 2025. A year after the release of her book F the Fairytale, Damona reflects on how dating has evolved—from the rise of AI-generated profiles and text traps, to the real reason we’re all scared of awkward pauses. We’re talking about learned dating skills, how to change your mindset for better matches, and why this is still actually the best time in history to be single (yes, even now). Plus, Damona spills on what wasn’t in the book—and what she’d add in a future chapter. Whether you’re in your pre-date era or just sick of the apps, this one’s for the baddies rewriting their own fairytales.

Hey well-read baddies! This week, we’re back with another #Black365 minisode and we sit down with bestselling author Dolen Perkins-Valdez to talk about her new novel Happy Land, inspired by the real-life Kingdom of the Happy Land—a self-sufficient Black community founded by formerly enslaved people in 1873. With little recorded history on this lost American kingdom, Dolen’s research brings this untold story to life. We discussthe real history behind Happy Land and why it disappeared, the power of historical fiction in reclaiming Black narratives, and how economic independence has always been a form of resistance. If you love historical fiction, hidden history, or powerful storytelling, this episode is for you!

Hey well-read baddies! This week, we’re back with another #Black365 minisode and are joined by Tembe Denton Hurst (@tembae)—writer, author, and biscuit connoisseur. She’s the brilliant mind behind Homebodies, a novel that perfectly captures the burnout, disillusionment, and existential mess that comes with being a young Black woman just trying to make it. We dive into the realities of losing yourself in your career, what happens when the “work twice as hard” rulebook stops working, and why home isn’t just a place—it’s context. Plus, we get the inside scoop on her next book, which she describes as Love Jones meets Sex and the City. Say less.

Hey well-read baddies! This week we're back with another #Black365 minisode and are joined by Cecily (@CecilyAlexa)—singer, songwriter, and one of the 13,000 members of the recording academy. The Washington, DC native has a rich, soothing sound rooted in mid-century Soul and Jazz. Often drawing comparisons to Minnie Riperton and Amel Larrieux, her music is imbued with a unique sensuality that informs not only her vocal approach, but also her self-reflecting lyrics. Cecily has been heralded for her poetic writing style. Grounded in an easy vulnerability, her lyrics speak of deep lessons around self-acceptance, freedom, community and love. We dive into her creative process, how All About Love by Bell Hooks shaped her latest project, and why music is basically a spell (so choose your bops wisely).
