Taking an L on the biggest stage in the world isn’t easy. However, in a presidential election, somebody has to do it. On this episode, we discuss how to lose and transition to the next phase of our lives gracefully. And we may or may not do a ton of singing.

Whew, chillay! There is so much going on, and we needed a safe space to process it all. So, here we are with this special, short version of today's show. There is no Bless Up Report (except to all the Black folk who showed up during the election), no Billboard, or any of the other things. We simply gather in the Living Room to talk about where we are as Black people, where we are as a nation, and the ways in which we can proceed no matter what the results are. We hope this mini session is healing and helpful for you, as it was for us. Sometimes, we just need to process. And, that is what we did here. Catch y'all next week for the full party!
