This multi episode podcast series will focus on engaging conversation as we explore pop culture, literature, film, and current events through the lens of the contemporary African American aunt. For example, some women embrace being an aunt and others consider it an insult. We’ll talk about the good, the better and best part of our lives as aunts and seeing the world through auntie-colored glasses.Shewanda Riley Social Sciences
