Black Enough? 😬 w/ Erica Joy Baker

Jarvis Johnson & Jordan Adika
About this episode

Today on Sad Boyz we're joined by THE Erica Joy Baker to discuss blackness aka the state of being black 😅

Jordan grew up in England, Jarvis in the US and Erica around the globe, but we all share the experience of being black while also having our blackness questioned by our community for superficial reasons like interests, manner of speech, and EVEN food preferences.

Also in this episode, we try to teach jordan about trapper keepers and we have the VERY FIRST PEN PALZ!

Let's get into it!
