"Slay the Dragon in Your Mind" (w/ Erika Alexander)

George is joined by actress, director, producer and activist Erika Alexander. You know her from Get Out, American Fiction, and her legendary role in one of George's all-time favorite shows, Living Single. That character was so influential, it has its own name in social psychology: data has shown that her role inspired numerous Black women to go into law, a phenomenon known as the Maxine Shaw Effect. We talk to her about staying relevant and making changes. Todays' Queer Artist Spotlight is on “Drip” by Sevn Deep.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
