What do you know about Spelman's history of activism? Probably less than you should. Simple freedoms like being able to wear jeans on campus, pants on Founder's Day, have your natural hair out as a member of Glee Club, and even to have a Black woman president were earned because of the important and yet widely unknown work of student activists. To begin the much-needed process of archiving such stories, TBR's Director Love Lundy and Archive Team Member Jasmine are joined by Spelman Alumnae and radical organizers Ari Brazier, Eva Dickerson, and Jill Cartwright. They discuss the protests they were involved in during their time at Spelman, their current work in the Stop Cop City Movement, and give encouragement to current Spelman students looking to get involved in radical organizing.

Spelmanites of past and present have lamented or adhered to the idea of the "Ideal Spelman Woman." Is she thin, light-complexioned, snobbish, and always sharply-dressed as the media has attempted to portray? Our hosts don't think so. Gabrielle, Chloe, and Alexandra of the Archives team trace back where exactly this stereotype of the Spelman woman came from, correct common misconceptions about Spelmanites, and discuss the responses to the exciting $100,000,000 donation to Spelman.

Valentine's Day is quickly approaching, so we gathered our expert panel of lover girls -- Fina, Love, Shiloh, and Del -- to discuss their own personal definitions of love. Why does our society seem to only focus on romantic love, and what does it mean to be a Black femme showing your girlfriends some affection? In addition to answering these questions, our hosts also dive into the discourse surrounding the recent The Color Purple movie musical, discussing whether the sapphic relationship between Celie (Fantasia) and Suge (Taraji P. Henson) was properly portrayed on screen.
