September: A Podcast For Loveships
September is a weekly podcast for Loveships. It explores the tools and technologies that build and sustain life-changing love relationships. Hosted by writer and facilitator Alexis Pauline Gumbs and artist and entrepreneur Sangodare Wallace, this intimate show draws on their 17-year partnership built on the premise of Loveship as a spiritual practice and Loveship as a resource in community.
From conflict and contrast, responsibility and repair, to emotional intimacy and navigating the ever-changing seasons of life, Alexis and Sangodare share insights that nurture not only couples but also families, friends, and communities.
Tune in each week for heartfelt conversations that honor relationships as sacred ground—an offering to ourselves, our people, our ancestors, and spirit.

Hello, Shango Dari, who sets up our recording space and excellently records and snips and uploads every episode of this podcast.
SPEAKER_00Hello, Alexis, who writes the first draft of most of these episodes, does all the outreach and communications with our amazing producer, Makungua. And to keep it in balance, I'm also the one who stresses about how to pay for a podcast without corporate sponsors. And I'm the one who's committed to bringing you a new tool every week. And yet I also sometimes forget to set enough time aside every week to record this podcast.
SPEAKER_01So once again, we are two committed and slightly overwhelmed people, and we are exactly as lovable as you.
SPEAKER_00We have missed two Sundays of offering you this podcast, and we miss you. We'll talk a little bit more about why on our next episode, about the difference between urgent and important. Amen. But this isn't a regular episode. This is a big announcement, which is Which is that we go together. Mm-hmm.
SPEAKER_01Today we dedicate this non-episode episode to the great Zori Neil Hurston, whose biographer Valerie Boyd teaches us that Zora Neil Hurston was the one author of the Harlem Renaissance who supported her work as a writer and scholar beyond institutions.
SPEAKER_00That's right. Zora Neil Hurston was supported by wealthy patrons early in her career, and then by the working class communities her work was most accountable to later in her career.
SPEAKER_01Zori Neil Hurston, we love you and we hear you. All right. You still have the opportunity to dedicate your listening to somebody who is important to you. Maybe someone who inspires you in your love work, maybe someone who benefits from you listening to this podcast, maybe somebody who you hope to honor by how you approach love and spiritual practice. Okay. Dedication launched.
SPEAKER_00Ready to get into the heart of it? Let's grow. And guess what? It's still September. Every week, usually, we have a technology for you for our journey and our teachers with North Stars that can guide you as you navigate your own ring shout dance of relationship and spiritual practice. And on today, we just dropped by to remind you we go together. We go together. The technology we were talking about today is this technology, the technology of community-supported space. There are others, like the schoolhouse, the prayer house, or the podcast.
SPEAKER_01So, Meta, we created this podcast because we want to grow the network of support for ourselves and other people in romantic and other types of relationships. We knew it was time to deepen that connection.
SPEAKER_00And so we've created a way for this podcast to be more sustainable and to grow our connection to you.
SPEAKER_01We are so honored by how many of you listen to this podcast every week, share the episodes with your friends, and practice the tools in your lives. And we want to be able to spend more time with those of you who are interested in more connection, more laughter, and more opportunities to be accountable to your own commitment to relationships as spiritual practice.
SPEAKER_00And so we've created two tiers for you to participate, and you can check them all out at the Patreon link in our show notes to join us for monthly live sessions to ask questions, build community, and practice the tools. Or for more in-depth accompaniment for your long-term journey.
SPEAKER_01We go together. Our goal is to be part of a world where all our relationships are supporting us on a path towards spiritual growth and radiant love, and we only get there together.
SPEAKER_00So we'll see you next week with a new tool, and we're so grateful for your support. If you want to be a part of our first live session, be sure to sign up on Patreon before June 19th. Now that's a live virtual session, when we'll be together. Laughing, connecting, preparing for the solstice. Okay, until then. Wait, wait, wait.
SPEAKER_01I have a potential listener question. What if I want to support the podcast and I need it to be tax deductible?
SPEAKER_00Or I don't want to be looped into the ongoing Patreon community. Great question, imaginary listener. You can also send us a tax-deductible donation via text to give. That's right. Text to give. So you can send a text to this number, 53555. That's right, just a text to the phone number, 53555. Sounds like a movie phone number, but it's real. What should you say in that message? All you have to put in your message is September. That's right. S-E-P-T-E-M-B-E-R. That's how you spell September. Then you press send and you'll get a text back from Black Feminist Film School, which is helping us make this and all our production more sustainable for us and consistent for you. Okay. Again, you'll text to the number 53555 and your message will just say September. And the details are in the show notes. Great. So until next time, farewell. And thank you. We love you.
