An Orchestra of Minorities
Books & Black Coffee

There are layers to this book. The goofball tendencies came through, and the bookworms enjoyed every moment. Love. Language. Society. Coming of age.

The Glass Bead Game
Books & Black Coffee
01/18/23 • 24 min
The Glass Bead Game is hoops we jump through and streets we navigate with a map that we create. It is an invitation to check our nature and our traditions and let them collide with our education. Fight mentally with our perspectives as we engage in a to and fro complicated by stories and concepts that don’t consider chronological order, just application.

Invisible Women
Books & Black Coffee
11/30/22 • 68 min
I'll bet on my Black Coffee hot spring that you won't be the same after reading this book. Do you need a reason to consider exploring the gender data gaps? This episode will be enough to fuel the fire of your curiosity. Get something to drink, and let's explore. Women have a lot of life’s keys. Don’t find yourself locked outside of doors you could have access to because of a bad attitude AND a lack of data.

A Bad Case Of Stripes
Books & Black Coffee
11/15/22 • 24 min
It all started on World Book Day. One bookworm read this book for the third time, while the other was amazed by its depth. Listen as this conversation turns a kid’s book into layers of dialog that we can all explore at different levels, ages, and stages in our lives.
Why are our reactions so exaggerated when it comes to things that deviate from the norm? (Ponder on that one)

Eleven Minutes
Books & Black Coffee
11/02/22 • 38 min
You’ve heard about Walden through lessons in solitude, dissected its epiphanies, and immersed yourself in the analysis. This week we move to interactions with more humans, the power dynamics between men and women, navigating love and intimacy & what we discover through reflection. Eleven Minutes is a different type of conversation - it has questions and some uncomfortable discoveries. Above all, there is something for us each to take and explore a little deeper.

Walden
Books & Black Coffee
09/27/22 • 21 min
The analysis, conversations, and lessons we learn from Walden never end. From this episode’s discussion, you can hear the discovery and rediscovery of things we overlooked or words that have resonated with us. Walden requires a notebook, pen, pencil, highlighters, post-it notes & whatever tools you need to take notes.
