How Black Mourning and Communal Grief Keep Us Alive with Dr. Leslie T. Grover
This week, we're getting into the inherited, collective, and often unspoken legacy of Black grief. Joined by Dr. Leslie T. Grover, an award-winning author, activist, and scholar dedicated to historical storytelling as a tool for justice and healing, we look at everything from Maya Angelou's refusal to celebrate her birthday after MLK's assassination to age-old funerary traditions passed down through generations to understand that grief has always been bigger than sorrow for Black folks--it's how we honor, celebrate, and love our ancestors, each other, and ourselves. -- To find more of Leslie's incredible work, visit https://www.leslietgrover.com/ — This podcast is brought to you by PushBlack, the nation’s largest non-profit Black media company.
