Episode 117: “Smoke on the Water: Legacy, Healing, and the Waterbearers”

In this episode, Ryesia (@theherblueprint) joins me in the Lit Lounge to discuss The Waterbearers by Sasha Bonét, a powerful memoir that explores generational trauma, motherhood, sisterhood, healing, and the weight of the stories we inherit. Together, we unpack Bonét's deeply personal journey, the truths she bravely shares, and the moments that challenged us, moved us, and stayed with us long after we finished reading.

We dive into the memoir's central themes, reflect on the stories that resonated most, and discuss the ways The Waterbearers speaks to identity, resilience, forgiveness, and the courage it takes to heal from the past. If you enjoy heartfelt memoirs and meaningful conversations that have a long lasting impact after the final page, pour your favorite drink, light your favorite cigar, and join us in the Lit Lounge for this unforgettable discussion.
