In this episode, Jess and Zuri discuss the loss of Zuri’s father in the midst of a pandemic, what it’s like to celebrate someone in a virtual funeral, and how to harness joy, love, and liberation even in uncertain times. Zuri talks about the power of portraying the character of Malika on Freeform’s hit show, “Good Trouble,” based on real life activist and author, Patrisse Cullors-Brignac of the Black Lives Matter movement, and how she started the Zuri Adele Fellowship for HBCU Alumni at UCLA with the intention of making Master of Fine Arts education more accessible to people of acknowledged African descent.
