———–
In this conversation Joanne and Sedie talk about the diversity within the African-American culture and why it’s a fallacy to think that we are a monolith. We also talk about curating and the need for more Black and curators of color. We need to research, cultivate and tell our own stories.

Listen in as we old friends have a little chat.
