How can you make your voice heard in a world that might not want to listen? How can you create content that appeals to the market, but also authentically expresses who you are? My guest Nathan Louis Jackson is a screenwriter who has written for television and film, everything from Luke Cage and S.W.A.T. to Thirteen Reasons Why and Shameless. He's also a successful playwright, the writer of the acclaimed When I Come to Die. In this episode, I talk to Nathan about his personal and professional journey, his creative process, and his experience as an African American man in the literary and entertainment world.
