    Sisters of the Yam (bell hooks) w/ Mireille Harper

    Mireille C Harper, author and Editorial Director at Tonic, Bloomsbury, joins us for a conversation about bell hooks’ black feminist text Sisters of the Yam, a book that’s as relevant today as when it was published 30 years ago.

We also discuss: ✨How self-care got hijacked by capitalism and Big Dopamine ✨That time bell hooks came for Beyoncé  ✨Community as survival and praxis, not just a nice idea ✨FKA Twigs' timely question; ‘where are the thinkers??'
