We trace how Black feminist networks form, sustain, and transform lives, from a painful academic slight to a thriving community rooted in mentorship, writing, and everyday care. Prof. Sharon Harley (University of Maryland) joins us to unpack bias, honor invisible labor, and share a living philosophy of mentoring across generations.

• black feminist networks as infrastructure for survival and joy
• the hidden curriculum and practical mentoring that meets basic needs
• bias in the academy and how community counters it
• allies within and beyond Black studies strengthening the web
• writing as resistance, archive, and liberation
• re-centering women builders like Nannie Helen Burroughs
• soundtracks that score struggle, study, and celebration
