Well, hey there, Scorekeepers! Have the last few weeks got you feeling scared? Anxious? Overwhelmed? Well, much like any rational, thinking human being living in 2025, we are feeling that way too. So we thought about it and figured that one thing that we could do is bring a little bit of joy into the proceedings, because even in these darkest of times, it's important to remember there's still joy to be had. So ladies and germs, we're doing an episode-long edition of Pure Black Joy! All episode we will be highlighting the beautiful Black people, art, and culture that are making a positive difference vis-à-vis our mental health. And we hope they do the same for you!

Oh, and if you're not currently in a space mentally and emotionally to receive this joy, we understand and we're holding you in our hearts. This ep will still be here whenever you're ready.

Love to all! Let's do it to it, y'all.

Hosts: Lee Bynum, Rocky Jones, Paige Reynolds

Producer: Rocky Jones
