1 Plays13 days ago
Hey lady! This week Terri and Dr. Dom welcome A’Lelia Bundles, a groundbreaking journalist and author, and the great granddaughter of A’Lelia Walker, the daughter of Madame C.J. Walker. She stops by the podcast to discuss her new book Joy Goddess: A’Lelia Walker and the Harlem Renaissance a riveting telling of her family’s storied history.
A’Lelia goes in depth about her journey to finding her place in her family’s historic legacy while building her own legacy. She found that in digging into the lore of her lineage she had the type of gold that writer’s dream of – stories full of innovation, trailblazing, love, lust, tough decisions, death, travel, luxury, joy, and triumph. Who wouldn’t want to dive in?
The ladies discuss how those stories hold gifts that we, as a collective, can use as we chart a new path through the current chaos. Our path of peaceful resistance centers around one key element – joy. A’Lelia Walker, known as the Joy Goddess by Harlem Renaissance luminary Langston Hughes, had a vision of creating community through sharing space, resources, and good vibes.
