Ep 42 #RonaEdition- When the World Stops Ending

Season three is back in full effect. It only took 7-8 months but it’s the effort that matters especially during these unprecedented times. On this #RonaEdition of Black + Nuanced, the one and only penultimate writer, world traveler, filmmaker, Darnell Walker joins me to discuss catching and surviving the rona in NYC, his life’s work, and our thoughts on wypipo trying to deem #Karen as a racial slur. Since we recorded remotely on Ringr due to the pandemic, please excuse any audio snafus.
