Ep. 6 - Homegoing (part 3)

<p>To wrap up our conversation on Homegoing, we talk about the relationship of desire (non-romantic) and our culture as Black people. (And like an old flame, we revisit who we imagine Marcus to be in real life.) We also discuss what it means to be a part of the larger Black Diaspora. What is Blackness? Where do our stories begin and end as Black people?</p>

Ep. 1 - Meet the Trio

<p>Welcome to Our Canon! Together, we read and discuss books from the Black canon that we “should” have read but, for many reasons, have not. (Don’t judge us.) This includes works by giants like Toni Morrison, W.E.B. Dubois, and Zora Neal Hurston. We also talk about more contemporary works from writers like Yaa Gyasi and Ta-Nehisi Coates, works that we think and hope will become a part of the ever-expanding Black literary canon.</p> <p>In this episode we describe ourselves as readers, major influences (positive or negative) on our relationship to reading, and our reason for being a part of the podcast. Enjoy!</p> <p>Follow us at <a href="https://www.instagram.com/ourcanonpod/">@ourcanonpod</a> on IG | Email us at ourcanonpod@gmail.com</p> <p><br></p> <p>Music by @kamariafyffe on IG</p>
