Joan Morgan is an award-winning author and journalist who wrote
When Chickenheads Come Home to Roost, and coined the term hip-hop feminism. But what you might not know about her is that she's also a practitioner of Yoruba, an African religious tradition. And as it happens, "Lemonade" is chock full of Yoruba imagery. Morgan joins us to help us understand these symbols. The album also included nods to the Black Lives Matter movement, and police violence against black citizens. We speak to
Brittney Cooper and
Treva Lindsey about what some of those images evoked for them.'
