Written In MelaninEpisode 7 | We Should Be Able to Critique Black AuthorsOne of the things that I've always been hesitant to do in the past is offer a negative opinion on a book written by a Black author. Because my platform is all about uplifting Black authors, I felt guilty if I ever wanted to give an author anything less than a glowing review because I know the obstacles they face are enough to deal with without feeling like other Black creators are trying to tear you down. But, that's not healthy. Black creators should be able to critique the work of other Black creators without being seen as a...

We were the women who were trying to get in there and out unscathed with those letters in hand.

Six years after we met, we are still dodging death as Black women entering white institutions, but we do it with a keen sense of reality. In this episode, we break it down for ourselve...

It’s Saturday, November 27th. There are a sea of fall leaves beneath our feet. She has fallen, gotten up, and hiked anyway, metaphor for what happens when we fall. We have invited our deceased fathers and their lessons on our hike. Our children and our mothers and other folks’ feelings come along for the freedom walk too. We talk reconciliation and creating boundaries without punishment as unconditional love. We talk of accepting nothing less than the reciprocity of love and respect from our love...

That's right, it took so long to get the Memory Machine back up to running that since the time of this recording, that Megan Hahin has since taken a position with the nearby Buffalo History Museum, and Ian K. Seppala has stepped into the director's role (perhaps an interview with him lies in the future?). In any case, the gem of this North Tonawanda museum remains, and Megan Hahin is here to talk about it, as well as Western New...
