Chile, We're Ready For Our Close-up

Writer and podcaster Nichole Perkins joins Felicia and Ivy to discuss their desire to see more multi-faceted representation of Black women on the stage and screen. Listen as they recall the characters that inspired them, those that miss the mark and all that’s still left to be explored. All over a lot of laughter.
