Summary

For Pride Month, we are throwing back to our award winning episode, PolyFree

Loving multiply or polyamory.
We already do it (we love our families, we love our friends, we love our pets), but it’s different when it comes to our romantic relationships.

In this episode, we meet Ambi, Ex and Intro, a triad on the verge of change, as well as Kevin Patterson, author of Love’s Not Colorblind: Race and Representation in Polyamorous and Other Alternative Communities. Crystal Byrd Farmer, who is a solo polyamorist, says that being polyamorous is a part of our Black heritage.
