32 - Defining Love (Is It Sapphic, Tho?)

Valentine's Day is quickly approaching, so we gathered our expert panel of lover girls -- Fina, Love, Shiloh, and Del -- to discuss their own personal definitions of love. Why does our society seem to only focus on romantic love, and what does it mean to be a Black femme showing your girlfriends some affection? In addition to answering these questions, our hosts also dive into the discourse surrounding the recent The Color Purple movie musical, discussing whether the sapphic relationship between Celie (Fantasia) and Suge (Taraji P. Henson) was properly portrayed on screen. --- Visit us at https://www.thebluerecordpodcast.com Follow us on Instagram and Twitter @thebluerecord Email us at bluerecord@spelman.edu --- Audio Engineering by Darlene Nawuridam Editing by Zariah Taylor --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-blue-record/message
