The Trailblazer: Cheryl Dunye

Join me, filmmaker and author Justin Simien, for unfiltered conversations with the film stars, artists and tv creators shaping black, queer and other emerging popular cultures. Be a fly on the wall as me and my guests use a common love language of "shade" to dive deeper than the knee-jerk reactions and the Twitter hot takes. If you're a fan of my film turned hit tv show "Dear White People," you already know I'll be going deep, with wide ranging conversations about race, pop culture, film, tv, political movements, religion, drugs and occasionally highly coded Hollywood gossip. Unless you're ready for all this tea, "Don't @ Me."
We wanna make the podcast even better, help us learn how we can: https://bit.ly/2EcYbu4
