    Can’t believe I listened to the whole thing. Whew! CNA is so so introspective, measured yet authentically articulate. Never misses a chance to be clear.

    A salient voice for the 21st century; so good to hear her eclectic insightful perspectives on: democracy, authenticity, Black hair, canceled culture, political coup, curtailing Instagram and social media, and 📚 reading! Yet- I am saddened to learned that her father passed with an infection in his kidney. Actually- I started assiduously reading: " A Note Of Grief" in which this brilliant author chronicled her notions, emotions, philosophy on her grief related to her father. She discussed the significance of memory, laughter, family rituals tangled with sadness, anger, shame, rage, denial.

    My grandparents had my parents, my grand MOTHERS carried my parents not my grandfathers . My parents had 7 children, my MOTHER carried us all, not my father. My wife and I have 2 children, SHE carried them both, not me. My grandson was carried by my DAUGHTER in law not my son. Women ARE EQUAL TO MEN, IF NOT SUPERIOR.....SOLUTION TO PROBLEM...If you don't get it, you are the continuation of the of the problem, regardless of whether you are a woman or a man......case closed especially if you think I am simplyfying some complex problem.

    The intro about Kamala Harris is sorta of an embarrassment I would NOT put her name anywhere of intelligent people. Especially having CHIMAMANDA the Queen of history and her delivery is so classy with TRUTH and most importantly calm. Now let me watch these two Queens but Chamamanda OMG she's an incestor who came back to deliver history for today and moving forward. #fanmchekosmetik
