Valentunes-Episode 3

from Move Beyond the Block Podcast Hosted by La'Keisha Gray-Sewell

In this Valentine's Day episode, host La'Keisha Gray-Sewell sits down with her husband of over three decades, DJ B-Syde (Barry Sewell), for their first public conversation together. The title "Valentunes" reflects how music has been the soundtrack to their love story—from the Art of Noise and Janet Jackson playlists that set the mood in their early days to the Blue Light Grooves mixtapes Barry still creates. They trace 32 Valentine's Days together, starting with Mary J. Blige CDs and Wu-Tang Clan albums exchanged as college freshmen in 1994, and arriving at a present-day love that's learned to flow rather than force. This conversation moves between memory and present reflection, touching on empty nesting, creative callings, and what it means to grow alongside another person.
