No. 52: Celebrating The Joy of Blackness in June + The Power of Song.
Hey Friends & Kin!
FYI: THIS, JUST LIKE ALL EPISODES OF HAND ME MY PURSE, CONTAINS PROFANITY. THIS PODCAST IS FOR ADULTS AND CONTAINS ADULT CONTENT. Now that we've gotten that out of the way...

Friends and Kin, this is episode No. 52 of Hand Me My Purse the podcast! For those of you who are new to this show - WELCOME! Take off your coat, and your shoes, sit down and stay awhile… This conversation is centered around celebrating Juneteenth & Black Music Month. This is a month that was created by former president Jimmy Carter to celebrate Black people’s contributions to music! I touch on how our ancestors used music and the gift of song to make their way to freedom. I dive into the beautifully tragic reality that makes up how enslaved Africans made it to the Western world and how even though our ancestors endured this - they still had a song in their spirit. We in turn continue to sing their song, to express through music the songs written onto our DNA.
I hope you enjoy this episode! Leave a rating and review for the show! Check out the links below for the Jam No. 52 & some links of music for some LEGENDS I mentioned ins the episode, Big Mama Thornton & Sister Rosetta Tharpe. These two women are absolute ancestral embodiments of BLACK GIRL MAGIC!!!✨
Oh, and what are y’all sippin’ on?
"GO WHERE YOU ARE LOVED. NOT WHERE YOU ARE TOLERATED..."
