Shawn Taylor, a coach, consultant, Senior Fellow with the Pop Culture Collaborative and author of the recent book The Alphabet for New and Expecting Fathers, joins us to talk about the vicissitudes of masculinity and grief. His new performance project-turned-short film, Speak and Carry tackles how men-of-color grieve their lost friends and loved ones, while showing up for each others' families and communities. In our FYC, Megan and Karen pay homage to their favorite meeting-place, Taix in Echo Park, which closed on March 29 after 99 years.
