In this episode, Luvvie is feeling good about Essence’s Black Women in Hollywood luncheon. It is the annual meeting of Noir Pixie Dust and this year was no different! She rants about the rampant homophobia shown in the face of the utter glory of Billy Porter’s Oscar #alphet, and shows love to Nigerian rapper extraordinaire Tobe Nwigwe. She chats with Jubril Agoro, Digital Marketing pioneer and founder of Passport Heavy, the digital content driven go-to travel destination for travel aficionados who want to see the world through the eyes of a Black traveler who loves life.
