Moodie-Mills.
Wives, not sisters.
These two are so freaking adorable. I mean…. let's do pictures first then commentary.
I
just
can't
stand
it!
These two Polinistas are the power couple behind Politini. Its a podcast and radio show about the intersection of politics and pop culture. Its on blis.fm and you should be there EVERY Thursday at 8 to get some food for thought.
Just some of the titles of their show include:
The Politics of Fashion
Is Obesity the New Normal?
Reproductive Freedom versus Recreational Sex
The Politics of Black Love
Has America Lost Its Appetite for Bigotry
Swagger-Jacking or Cultura Dexterity
Born a Suspect
Rape Culture Continues
Bottom-Bitches and Feminism 2.0
School Discipline and the Criminalization of Black girls
Egos, Elders and The Intellectual Assault on Beyonce
They go for and go for it hard! They have excellent guests who are experts in the fields they choose to discuss every week. Always thoughtful and thought provoking, I make it my business to soak up this goodness at least an hour a day on my morning commute. I've always thought that being intelligent wasn't just natural talent but also curiosity. I make it my business as a scientist to stay socially conscious and I think it makes me a better person and definitely a better intellectual. They definitely keep me abreast of everything afoot in the social justice movements across the country.
On the fun side of things, they love all things J and B and are outraged at the same things that drive me cray!
Aisha and Danielle Moodie-Mills are the first Black lesbian couple to be featured in Essence and they have a blog about living, loving, and laboring out loud. Their wedding pictures are the stuff of dreams. Their shared passion for waging the fight against injustice as well as their knack for being on the pulse of pop culture make them super interesting and role model worthy.
And did I mention I just love Black love. Yea, I love it.
And I love seeing their particular type of Black love which isn't represented often.
I sent the pictures of their wedding to a friend who said and I quote "I think I just realized that's my dream. My heart is fluttering….I want it."
Visibility matters.
Happy Anniversary you two!
4 years today
