Black Boomer Besties from Brooklyn
Ep177 Why Handwritten Letters Still Feel Like Love
May 05, 2026
Season 18
Episode 5
Angella Fraser & Leslie Osei-Tutu
Your phone is full of messages, photos, and threads you swear you’ll scroll back to someday. But what happens when the platform changes, an account disappears, or “someday” never comes? We’re Angella and Leslie, two 60-something Black women from Brooklyn on a joy journey, and we’re making the case for something radically simple: handwritten letters, cards, and real written correspondence.
We dig into why letter writing still matters, from the “juicy” mother-child letters that hold conversations you’d never say out loud on a call, to the boxes of old notes that become a personal archive of love.
