Season 6 Episode 9: Love, Poetry, and the Power of Rest
It’s time to acknowledge the collective exhaustion we all feel. In this episode, host Anasa Troutman reflects on the whirlwind of 2024—how it’s been a day, a week, a month, and a year all rolled into one. While some are hustling through the holiday season, Anasa is prioritizing rest and hopes you are too.
This heartfelt episode honors the legendary Nikki Giovanni, a poet who profoundly shaped Anasa’s life and artistry. Through personal anecdotes and a deep dive into Giovanni's impact, Anasa celebrates her sharp wit, joyful energy, and groundbreaking contributions to Black literature and culture.
Then, it’s time for the “Pop Three”! Anasa reviews the new Netflix nature docuseries Our Oceans, produced by Higher Ground, sharing candid thoughts on Barack Obama’s narration and the beauty of ocean life. Plus, she revisits Welcome to Earth, the 2021 Will Smith documentary that set the gold standard for dynamic nature storytelling.
Join Anasa for a reflective, tender, and unfiltered episode filled with gratitude, cultural tributes, and the occasional call to prioritize self-care. Let’s rest, reflect, and recharge for the journey ahead.
