For this episode, Akua and Sam took a trip over to Brooklyn to visit members of the GRIOT Circle. GRIOT Circle is a community-based, multigenerational organization serving LGBTQ elders of color. Together with GRIOT Circle members we chatted  about sex, love, and dating back in the day and now, and got into the evolutions of the queer community in NYC over the decades.
