In this episode, the Black Lotus teams back up in person as Michael travels out to Howard University for their homecoming. In this conversation we brought on a few Howard University students, and as well as a few friends from back home who were also visiting from Oakland. We discussed the #blackburntakeover and a few of our takeaways from the movement as well as modern dating between black men and black women. You guys are definitely going to enjoy this one.
