Episode description

Cary Alan Johnson is an author, activist, and Africanist raised in Brooklyn.  He has a Bachelor’s degree from Sarah Lawrence College and a Master’s degree in International Affairs from Columbia University’s School of International and Public Affairs. He joins Alvin and Vash to talk about this riveting and real debut novel “Desire Lines,” a roller coaster ride through gay New York in the 1980s—the sex, the drugs, and the trauma of AIDS—a moment in history marked equally by dramatic devastation and fierce determination. 

In the "We See You" segment, Rich Lallite, Founder and CEO of Harlem Boy Collection talks about starting a business during COVID and his dreams for the future.
