Summary

You don't want to miss this episode, Witches!


Guest K. Alexandra joins Hannah and Marcelle for a conversation about Critical Race Theory and The Goblet of Fire. Noted by some as a Harry Potter trivia queen, K. Alex is also an educator, activist and member of communities such as Black Girls Create, Black Hotties at Hogwarts, Fandom Forward, and Wizards in Space Literary Magazine. She's basically a badass who swooped in to catch us up on this academic discipline and how we can use it to think through the characterization of beloved characters like Angelina Johnson, Lee Jordan, Parvati and Padma Patil β€” and Hermione, just to name a few.


Be sure to follow Witch, Please on Twitter and Instagram @ohwitchplease and let us know what you think of the episode through a review on Apple Podcasts. As always, you can join our Patreon for exclusive content including bonus interviews, Q&As, Watch Alongs and more β€” our tiers range from $2-$13!


Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
