About this listen

In the spirit of the Ghanaian adinkra symbol Sankofa, which means “return and get it,” in this episode, Archives team members Denim and Gabrielle will guide you through the fabrics of Spelman College as a site of lesbian/sapphic love since its origination and engage with contemporary voices such as students, memory workers, and faculty. They uplift Black feminist foremothers such as bell hooks and Audre Lorde, who provided us with philosophies like “love ethic” and taught us the importance of establishing “authority over our own definition.” This episode aims to encourage the urgency of love, particularly lesbian/sapphic love, by way of illustrating the complexity and depth of remembering and resistance.
