Lunar Recap: a new audio collage, balm for weary creatives, and good reads you might have missed
A look back at what's happened since October's full moon.
Today’s full moon marks a natural moment for release and resolution. This phase emphasizes creating space for what’s next, letting go of what’s no longer useful, and honoring the work we’ve completed.
We’ve been processing—individually and collectively. As the events of the last lunar cycle unfold, we find ourselves adjusting to a new reality, carrying both the weight of the past and the questions of what lies ahead.
In the wake of the presidential election, November’s lunar phase called Black women to reflect and connect. Read more about our latest audio episode, What Was Said.
What Was Said: Black women in conversation
In the 48 hours following the 2024 election, four Black women find solace in the shared space of voice notes, where laughter meets grief and hope meets worry. Through raw, intimate exchanges, Ashley Simpo, tiffany rose, Leeza Joneè, and Whitney McGuire unpack the emotional weight of the moment. They confront both joy and pain, piecing together a future they believe in.
This intimate audio anthology invites listeners in on a collective conversation, exploring what it means to carry—and share—the weight of history.
