If you’ve ever quoted Audre Lorde, you’re going to love this episode with Dr. Briona Simone Jones. Dr. Jones is a scholar, professor and editor of the multi-award-winning book, Mouths of Rain: An Anthology of Black Lesbian Thought.

Mouths of Rain is the most comprehensive anthology centering Black Lesbian Thought to date.

During this thought-provoking conversation, we explore the erasure of Black women specifically Black lesbian thinkers such as Audre Lorde, Alexis De Veaux, Cheryl Clarke among others and the importance of reclaiming their contributions.

We also discuss how this intersects grief, intimacy, pleasure and liberation all through the revolutionary and healing power of the archives.
