In this episode, we examine the groundbreaking life and work of author Jessie Redmon Fauset—a woman whose tact and dynamism helped launch the Harlem Renaissance. We analyze a selection of her poetry as part of our “Black History Month” theme, and talk through tough topics like racial exoticism, American beauty standards and social empathy.

Please join us as we try to read a little more, write a little better, and explore the human condition—together.
