CURRENT EPISODE
Episode 3: Fresh Faces & Literature with Guest George M. Johnson

George M. Johnson’s memoir, All Boys Aren’t Blue, is currently the second most-banned book in the US. Blame polarizing anti-LGBTQ+ sentiments and white supremacist perspectives for the censoring of this very necessary literary work, which explores what life is like growing up Black and queer. In this episode of The Love Doctor, the celebrated author, journalist, and activist joins our host to unpack some of the conservative views within our own community, and what the road to reconciliation would mean for Black people. Listen now.
