31:17Now PlayingThis past January, after @Nyonyozimusic heard "The Bluest Eye" was banned from a Florida school, she reached out for my thoughts on the matter. During our first Youtube discussion in 2021, she recalled a moment when I recommended "The Bluest Eye" to her, along with the viewers watching our talk. Here is our recent conversation and my breakdown of "The Bluest Eye" and why it's misunderstood by those who don't *read* it. Additionally, this discussion serves as a great example of how to reach out for understanding (of a different POV) instead of assuming the headlines are correct.
