Be the Friend You Need

Professional Troublemaker with Luvvie Ajayi Jones

Friendship is a verb. It requires action. Friendship requires honesty, accountability, and action. This world is too crazy to walk through alone. So if you're trying to disrupt for the greater good, you're gonna need this backup.

People tend to throw the term friendship around frivolously, but not Luvvie. In this solo episode, Luvvie expands on a conversation she started on Glennon Doyle’s podcast and discusses the critical role friends play in our lives. Luvvie shares her definition of what it means to be a friend and the weight that word carries for her and how to end a friendship in a grace-filled way. Luvvie also answers questions submitted by her audience and tackles the question of whether Black women and white women can be friends.

There's so much goodness in this episode, and we hope as a result of listening you reach out to a friend who matters to you. Investing in your relationships is something that will keep rewarding you for the rest of your life. So be the friend that you would like to have.
