In this episode, we’re talking to Jessica Lynne, a beloved sister, a Southern center for me, someone for whom I would not be in the arts + culture space without, and who I advise on most of my life moves before I make them—and someone who I ask to always to continue to journey with me, including on the executive Board of Black Art Futures Fund. I tell everyone in an introduction to Jessica Lynne that I absolutely make no life decisions without her. Yall know her also as a writer and art critic. She is a founding editor of ARTS.BLACK, an online journal of art criticism from Black perspectives. Her writing has been featured in publications such as Art in America, The Believer, BOMB Magazine, The Nation and elsewhere. She is currently at work on a collection of essays about love, faith, and the American South.
