Hear to Slay: Protect Ya Genius

1 hour 26 minutes

Radically reimagining asks us to consider the vital role of creatives and intellectual property. The Nod's Brittany Luse (@bmluse) and Eric Eddings (@eeddings) join Roxane and Tressie to talk about how the podcast industry is reckoning with Black creative ownership at this time. And later in the show, strategist and lawyer Shontavia Johnson (@shontaviajesq) shares tips for how under-resourced entrepreneurs can start protecting their intellectual genius.
