This is an episode for the kids who never saw their names on those keychains at the giftstore- like our guest, Nigerian American bestselling author, speaker and fellow podcaster- Luvvie Ajayi Jones.
Many of us grew up with names that were made fun of, and Luvvie's new children's book 'Little Troublemaker Defends her Name' is all about being proud of our names as kids.
We have a conversation with Luvvie- plus Hana shares a story from her kids podcast Folktales from Sudan about a goat who just won't listen..

For Pride Month, we are throwing back to our award winning episode, PolyFree

Loving multiply or polyamory.
We already do it (we love our families, we love our friends, we love our pets), but it’s different when it comes to our romantic relationships.

In this episode, we meet Ambi, Ex and Intro, a triad on the verge of change, as well as Kevin Patterson, author of Love’s Not Colorblind: Race and Representation in Polyamorous and Other Alternative Communities. Crystal Byrd Farmer, who is a solo polyamorist, says that being polyamorous is a part of our Black heritage.

A father's day favorite.
We hear from dads, people talking about their daddies, and we hear about the joys, and challenges, of Black fatherhood. We see you, Black dads. Featuring dads Chris Stewart, Rob Fields, and Sam Adewumi.
