I am home from my book tour and it feels soooo good. 😮💨 It was a wild 50 day journey all across the country — 15 states, 23 cities, 52 events. Yes, I’m tired. But goodness gracious it was such a treat to meet so many of you. BIG thanks for coming out and supporting me and the book and being jazzed about climate solutions.
Towards the end of the tour, in Detroit, Michigan, I got the chance to sit down with adrienne maree brown. We’d been following each other’s work for years, and it was such a treat to gab and snack and joke in person.
adrienne is a best-selling author, activist, facilitator, a songwriter, a poet, and doula. She also has a new book out, called Loving Corrections, which I have been delighting in. This is absolutely a moment to be lovingly correcting lots of things...
The conversation was moderated by Orlando P. Bailey of Outlier Media, for a packed house. Sorry, Orlando, that we were utterly ungovernable! But this was just the kind of joyful, irreverent, soulful conversation I very much needed, and I hope that it will be what you need, in this moment.
Fortitude and fragility. Our biracial families. Which of us has Beyoncé vibes and which Rihanna? What project we are scheming up together… We covered all the critical topics. Throw your head back and laugh with us. And we’ll be back with another episode next week. xo
Credits: This conversation was hosted by Urban Consulate, supported by the Kresge Foundation. This episode was produced and edited by Nora Saks and me, with recording help in Detroit from Afrochine. It is also being released on the podcast adrienne co-hosts with her sister, autumn brown, called How to Survive the End of the World.
