The conversations you’ve had on your episodes have been super impactful, and you’ve had some pretty amazing guests on your show so far, including Storm Reid, Lexi Underwood, and David Dobrik. Is there a specific topic or moment you are particularly proud of discussing so far?

Personally, I loved the conversation we had with Asante and Ethan’s cast member from When They See Us, Marquis Rodriguez! We talked about J Cole and Noname and that whole situation and I felt enlightened to what support of Black Women is and what it should be!

That was a really powerful episode that everyone should check out.
In another episode, Reed, you talked about Black people needing to be double the skill, double the talent to get to the same spot. What has that experience been like for you coming up in Hollywood?

In America this fact remains true for black people no matter what industry we’re in. That’s just the way the system is set up.
Unfortunately in Hollywood many Black actors are still playing the token black characters because that’s all that’s made available by the large studios

That’s why representation BEHIND the camera is so important, too. Writers and directors like @ava bring new voices, faces, and opportunities to actors.
Asante, what was it like working with her on “When They See Us”?

Your words remind us of something @LexiCUnderwood said in one of your episodes — “Black women are like superheroes.” Reed, who are the superheroes that have helped get you to this moment?
