I had to call corporate and work with their tech support to get this episode uploaded. It's unclear why this happened. I wanted to acknowledge that this episode was late, and that it took some time to get it remediated with the hosting service. I'm so sorry for the delay, I was really excited for everyone to hear this episode on time.

It started a whole 2 hour beef, it got out of control. Anyways, I've been told I talk about my cat too much. Which ... this is my podcast, and if I want to talk about my child (who lives with me and who I gave birth to) that is my right. But instead of talking about it I have decided to type out this paragraph. Okay. You're wondering - what are we reading this week. Honestly, I was hoping that in typing this out I would come up with an article. It turns out you can't do two things at once. F**k.

Interested in learning more about passing? Check out my recommendations:
Each novel and short story recommended is very dear to me, and is essential to understanding the precarious nature of white passing in America. I specifically think Coogler referenced Passing by Nella Larsen and Imitation of Life.
- Passing by Nella Larsen - the pinnacle of passing literature, it tells the tale of two childhood friends, who reconnect as adults. One is white passing, one lives as Black. It's the best for a reason. Imitation of Life by Fannie Hurst - A white passing daughter and the painful, fraught rejection of her Black mother. Check out the movie!The Vanishing Half by Brit Bennett - identical twins in born in an all-Black (extremely light-skinned town) take two different paths.Desiree's Baby by Kate Chopin - Slave owners grapple with the truth of their beloved baby.
