Together they dive into a Focal Point discussion of Frances Bodomo's 2016 short film, Boneshaker, starring Quvenzhané Wallis. Topics include: femininity, the symbolism of water v fire, spirituality, the Black Southern Gothic, self-determination as a child, and more.

After that, Shanti gets into how her blog, The Black Ampersand (http://blackampersand.co/), began and why it's so important. Topics here include black queerness and intersectionality, self-love, self-care, storytelling, and more.
