Dance and joy take center stage today. There's a movement afoot in Black America in which dance is emerging as a revolutionary act - a subversive expression of joy and cultural memory.
Melony and Derek begin by sharing personal reflections on the movement's roots to moments of community and survival. Returning guest, Malia Lazu, then expands the conversation to encompass broader themes of societal change and collaboration. Together, they navigate through thoughts of joy as resistance, the necessity of decentralized action, and the crucial role of the working class as the heart of the movement.
