In this episode of Plastic on the Sofa, I sit down with Kevito Clark, founder of Love, Peace & Spades, to explore the deeper meaning of Black card games such as Spades, Bid Whist, Tonk, and Dominoes. Together, we discuss how these traditions create spaces for community, cultural preservation, intergenerational connection, and the life lessons hidden around the table.

In this episode, we're exploring adornment as more than just decoration — tracing how it shows up in belonging, celebration, and aspiration across Black life. Through family stories, cultural memory, and the people who live these practices, the episode looks at how what we wear and create helps us mark our place, honor each other, and reach toward who we want to become.
