This week, we’re joined by award-winning professor, writer, and abolitionist Jenn M. Jackson for a conversation that’s as insightful as it is hella sapphic. We dive into their latest book, Black Women Taught Us, and explore their journey growing up queer in the Bay, marriage and parenthood, and, of course, our Bad Queer Opinions.
