  • Summary

  • The bodies of Black women have always been deified and dismissed; sexualized and commodified - and Billie Holiday was no exception. In this episode, host Rebecca Carroll and iconic political activist Dr. Angela Davis explore Billie's relationship to and with her body, and how the singer sought control over her image by using her body her way.
