In this episode, we speak with EbonyJanice about her book 'All the Black Girls Are Activists,' the concept of womanism, and the importance of love. EbonyJanice shares her views on the significance of names, freedom, and love, as well as the challenges of (not) balancing softness with activism in the Black community.
