I honestly couldn’t see myself putting out anything else today. The death of Chadwick Boseman shook me to the core and I decided to put out this episode because of people that choose to invalidate the feelings of grief we experience at the loss of an icon. Moments like this can be hard, and i hope this serves as a comfort to some that might need it. This episode was a bit “raw” with no edit whatsoever. RIP Chadwick Boseman. Your legacy lives on
