#39- Howard University 2021 Homecoming Edition

In this episode, the Black Lotus teams back up in person as Michael travels out to Howard University for their homecoming. In this conversation we brought on a few Howard University students, and as well as a few friends from back home who were also visiting from Oakland. We discussed the #blackburntakeover and a few of our takeaways from the movement as well as modern dating between black men and black women. You guys are definitely going to enjoy this one.
