What does it mean for a black woman to love across the color line?


In this episode, Bleu and Don speak with Maya-Gawonii about her journey to her essay, "Loving After Virginia."

There are then further discussions around being pro-black while having a non-black partner and the ways in which the current racial hierarchy affects queer identities.
