  • Love this podcast.

    Hi :)

    My name is Jamisa J. and I hope to work with Ryan Coogler one day, God willingly. I love these convos he does with other directors/writers they all feel very light and informative but also supportive. I believe that’s what other creators need within ourselves to show love to other creators because ultimately we need each other to keep growing and expanding this difficult art form. Much love to everyone apart of this podcast.
