Esteemed film director and screenwriter Gina Prince-Bythewood joins the ladies of BGP! Her latest film, ‘The Old Guard,’ crowns Gina as the first African-American woman to direct a comic book film. We discuss diverse representation in Hollywood, black filmmaker mentorship, her greatest influence in writing black love stories, investing in intentions, strengthening her identity with grace and the similarities of directing love and fight scenes. Gina also shares a very personal life-lesson she learned from her idol Prince. ‘The Old Guard’ is streaming NOW on Netflix. Enjoy!

Listen every week as their differing opinions and life experiences lead them to understand themselves, and the world around them, a little bit better.
