Happy Wednesday, Scorekeepers! It's time for another installment of your favorite podcast, THE SCORE! This week, we realized that we never actually had a chat about Lizzo and the crystal flute! So first up, we give Lizzo her flowers, which naturally leads to a lively discussion about the current, bewildering political divide here in the US. But then comes a breath of fresh air in the form of this week's guest, Minnesota-based artist, dancer, and activist, Imagine Joy. Join us for an inspirational chat about creating through the pandemic, the art of community organizing, and the importance of Black feminism (0:40:15)! And, of course, we'll send you off into the week with a bit of Pure Black Joy (1:12:38)! Let's do it to it, y'all!

Hosts: Lee Bynum, Rocky Jones, Paige Reynolds (Iyawo Inawale)

Guest: Imagine Joy (Demetrius McClendon)

Producer: Rocky Jones
