Supa Black!

We're closing out this Women's History Month with another episode in our "Spotlight!" series where we highlight Black Artists who have in some way crossed paths with the superhero genre.

Welcome to "Supa Black!" writer of stage and screen Angelica Chéri! You may recognize her work from her brilliant musical Gun & Powder or most recently from the Lifetime remake of Highway to Heaven starring Jill Scott. Last summer she took a foray into the wonderful world of Disney and Marvel with the new show Warriors of Wakanda: The Disciplines of the Dora Milaje, now playing in the Avenger's Campus at Disneyland. 

Powerful women talking about powerful women?-- Sounds like a good time to us!

We are proud to present the first interview in our "Spotlight!" series in which we highlight Black Artists who have in some way crossed paths with the superhero genre.

Superpowers…tragedy…a good villain. All of these and more come up as the Supa Panel tries to answer the question, "What makes a superhero?" Is there a tried and true formula? Are there some heroes who defy it? Come along with us on the journey as we try to figure it out!

We all know the importance of an Origin Story to superheroes great and small: Peter Parker had Uncle Ben, Bruce Wayne had a fateful night after the theatre, and Kal-El was saved from the destruction of his home planet only to crash land on this dusty rock we call Earth. Get to know our host and Supa Panel as they dive into their own origin stories and what brings them here today. Welcome to Supa Black!

This little episode serves as an introduction to the delightful mind of our friendly neighborhood host Zuri as she goes about explaining what inspired her to create this podcast in the first place. Get ready to turn up, up and away! 😜✊🏾
