No. 60 - Black Women & Incarceration + Been Down, But We UP w/Amber of The Been Down Project. PART TWO.
Hey Friends & Kin!
FYI: THIS, JUST LIKE ALL EPISODES OF HAND ME MY PURSE, CONTAINS PROFANITY. THIS PODCAST IS FOR ADULTS AND CONTAINS ADULT CONTENT. Now that we've gotten that out of the way...
_________
This is part TWO of my conversation with Amber of THE BEEN DOWN PROJECT! My new play cousin from L.A. in the 90s! If you haven’t already listened to part ONE of this conversation, I highly suggest you do that FIRST. In part two we dive deeper into her time in PRISON (not jail. there’s a difference…) and learn about her new venture BLOOM, the only restaurant in DC that is BLACK OWNED, WOMAN OWNED & QUEER OWNED! I am going to definitely have the Amber & her business partner on the show in the near future to tell us more about BLOOM.
Amber & I got to chat about some serious things, and some fun things. Like me, Amber has lived a HELLUVA LIFE. Very very colorful & she tells us all about them. One of the main focuses of Hand Me My Purse. is to tell the stories of people who don’t get heard often & an educated Black woman serving time in federal prison for a white collar crime is one of those stories. So sit back, relax and enjoy yourself as me and my new cousin, Amber dive into her story. I am excited to share with you!
The Straight Facts segment had a question that was LOADED. It was such an amazing question and was VERY layered, yet beautiful. It was sent in to us from Kay of Milwaukee. Thank you so much for such a great question, Kay! 💕🤓
Also just so you know, the music for Hand Me My Purse. is provided by none other than West Baltimore’s own… Gloomy Tunez.
