Episode Synopsis

A universal conversation I have with creators is making content that is genuine and authentic to the purpose of your art. Making sure that you are being honest with the audience you want to attract. What better way to do that, than to make art that you would’ve wanted to see growing up?This week we are continuing the conversation of representation in the media but this time, from a director’s perspective. Join me and filmmaker Au’Tonay Smith for a conversation full of laughs and nostalgia as we talk about the impact that positive representation on television had, not just on our personal outlook, but on our community.
