Hey, this is Derey and we're gonna post it in the people in this episode.

We have a double interview episode because we took some time to celebrate Easter with

our families.

First up, Kaya, I'm Barry Onkaya, discusses Judas and the Black Messiah with its director

and co-writer, Shaka Keen.

And then, Janetta Elsie gives us updates on what's happening with the protest and then

I sit down with Dorothy A. Brown, Professor Brown to discuss racism in the world of the American

tax law.

I learned so much that I didn't know.

The advice for this week is to remember to patch yourself on the back, give yourself

credit, look in the mirror and tell that person, job all done.

Is that we don't do that enough?

And that has to be a part of how we think about the way we love ourselves and the way

that we talk ourselves and the way that we treat ourselves and sets us up to do the

same in the world.

Here we go.

Now our very own Kaya sat down last week with Shaka Keen, who is the director and co-writer

of the award-winning new film Judas and the Black Messiah, which explores the Illinois

chapter of the Black Panther Party and chairman of Fred Hampton.

Here's a discussion of how that film came to be and why it was made outside of how Hollywood

feels comfortable exploring Black stories.

Let's go.
