Summary
Go VOTE! With the election near, we’re re-releasing this activating episode with Susan Sarandon:
Nina holds a sister-girl chat with Actor-vist, Susan Sarandon (aka #SSEnterprise). Banking on hope and with open hearts (although heavy with today’s environment), these two hell-raisers discuss what it means to act for magnificent change; to not be intimidated by power; to invent a new democracy and to question - why is Tarzan – Lord of the African Jungle – white? Hello Somebody.
This episode offers an intimate view into a friendship that began with activism yet continues to grow with love of self and one another, while fighting for the greater good.
