from 2017-01-25T12:00
Meet Kovie, culture & identities writer and Deputy Entertainment Editor at @buzzfeednews. Kovie and I luv author Luvvie Ajayi ( AKA @AwesomelyLuvvie) for being lowkey judgemental (for all the right reasons). On today's epi, we share our fave takeaways from Luvvie’s NYT Bestseller (!!!) “I’m Judging You: The Do-Better Manual.” Kovie wrote about Queen Sugar. Then, Ava DuVernay wrote a thank you Kovie. She totally buried that lede.
