How Do We Get Free?

Welcome back to Sylly, a podcast for the curious and critical. We’re your hosts, Mbiye Kasonga and Tembe Denton-Hurst. In episode 17, we’re thinking about freedom using Gathering Blossoms Under Fire as a primary text. The journals of Alice Walk offer us insight into what it means to be a free woman, and a free Black woman at that. Tembe and I discuss how people misinterpret freedom, confusing it with power and domination. We round out the conversation by discussing books that center liberated women.
