A "Voice Stained with Grief": Writing After Loss with Regina N. Bradley

This week we are joined by Dr. Regina N. Bradley, a prominent public voice on contemporary southern Black life and hip hop culture, who is the author of the widely-acclaimed book, Chronicling Stankonia: the Rise of the Hip-Hop South. Dr. Bradley candidly talks about her efforts to heal and return to a daily practice of writing, after the trauma of her grandmother's murder at the hands of another family member two years ago. She opens up about the variations of grief she's experienced since then, while talking about how her social, and academic, professional world sometimes come at odds with her journey to healing.
