Filmmaker, activist, and curator Veronic McKenzie joins us on the verandah today. We hear about Veronica's award-winning films and her work on the Vanguard project, which documented Black queer history in the UK. We also hear about her chaotic experiences at Live TV in the 90s. Who remembers the News Bunny? Veronica also talks about her current project, a short film about Nina Simone, which she describes as a spiritual project for her.

Kick off your shoes, pour your favourite drink, and settle in for some good conversation. This is Verandah Talk. We’re Suzette and Suzanne. We’re both actors and have been close friends since the 1990s. In 2020, we became co-authors of Still Breathing: 100 Black Voices on Racism. We invited musicians, athletes, civil servants, doctors, lawyers, and other creative professionals to share their own experiences of racism. On this podcast, we're connecting with them again to deepen our understanding of their powerful stories. We're all at peace with our thoughts on our verandah. Come listen in.
