It's ironic to me that, in spite of what we know and have experienced of oppression and hurt, we often become perpetrators of the same in response to the hurt and injustice. TY for this conversation. <3

Two questions: How do you want to be loved today? (2) How are you willing to love? Kiese is on point.

This conversation needs to be continued and repeated over and again. Revolutionary love is continual and progressive work! Let it happen!

Thanks again Esther Armah for your show and for #emotionaljustice.

Great work. I've read a lot of responses to Dyson's piece and I feel this is the most necessary by far!

The Spin: revolutionary love, emotional justice, black masculinities. The Dyson-West fall out continues, THE SPIN talks: emotionality, honesty, transforming our movements, and black men speaking tough personal truths about toxic masculinities.
