In this week's episode, The Black Lotus is reunited due to Josiah being back home from Spring Break. This episode was recorded on March 8th, 2022. Starting off with a simple conversation about life, in this edition of Black Anthropology, the Black community takes a heavy focus. We discussed solutions to the problems that we face and expressed hope for the future. Due to this episode being recorded a few months ago, some of the information might've changed, especially in the life experience aspect. This episode is very informative and we appreciate all who tune in. As long as you guys show love, we'll stay consistent.
