We need Black humor

from Tell it Proud · host Christina Blacken

Today's episode is focused on the cultural principles of cultural intelligence, and is a reading from an essay I originally wrote for The New Quo Learning Community where I curate overlooked ethical and cultural wisdom straight to the inboxes of members who are passionate about finding new insight and inspiration to practice their social justice values.  This essay is a book review of That's How They Get You, a hilarious book of essays and memoir like reflections from Black creators, makers, movers, shakers, authors, and entertainers on their use of humor as a tool of love, loss, honoring their ancestry, building resilience, and moving through the world. It is edited and curated by Damon Young, who was a colleague of mine back in my media days. I've always admired his amazing ability to capture the absurdities and truths of the world in the wittiest and wildest comedic essays.
