About the Front Room

Elegant front room with vintage furniture and warm lighting

The Front Room is a space shaped by memory, culture, and the stories we carry. In Black homes, the front room was the place reserved for company — a room kept immaculate, intentional, and full of meaning. It was where conversations unfolded slowly, where family history lived in photographs and heirlooms, where truth and tradition sat side by side.

This digital Front Room follows that lineage. It’s a place for reflection, commentary, and storytelling — a room where headlines meet history, where the uncanny brushes against the everyday, and where the echoes of the past shape the conversations of the present. Here, Chandra invites readers to sit for a while, listen closely, and explore the spaces where culture, memory, and the unseen intersect.
