For our fifth episode, Joi and Deneshia welcome Joi's husband, Dustin, to the podcast to discuss the origin and history of Juneteenth. A celebration of freedom, Juneteenth also has elements of sorrow, as it commemorates the freeing of enslaved African-Americans in Galveston, Texas, two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation ended slavery in the rest of the country. Plus, Joi and Deneshia honor the dozens of Black men and women who have perished at the hands of or in custody of police officers. Hosts: Joi McGowan and Deneshia Simpson, PLCsProducer: Leigh Wood

In the third episode, Joi and Deneshia discuss Black joy: how vulnerability is key to experiencing it, but is also a barrier to allowing yourself to feel it; how belonging and acceptance are keys to experiencing joy for everyone; what research shows about joy and suicidal thoughts; and how Black joy is necessary today with so many images and instances of Black death and trauma prevalent in our culture. And finally, how Black joy is communal and liberating. Hosts: Joi McGowan and Deneshia Simpson, LPCsProducer: Leigh WoodTheme music composed by: Jasper Logan
