On this week’s episode, we discuss A24’s Zola (dir. Janizca Bravo), the highly anticipated film adaptation of the 2015 Twitter thread by A’Ziah “Zola” King — a series of 148 tweets recounting the tale of a Black stripper from Detroit who travels to Florida at the invitation of a white girl named Jessica in the hopes of making some money at clubs down South, only to find herself “lost in the sauce, lost in the game.” Drawing on the film’s relationship to the infamous thread, we reflect on our first encounters with the story and the significance ofTwitter as a storytelling platform. Additionally, we explore matters of race, gender, class, and whorephobia as they inform the reception of the “Thotessy” and the future of both Black digital literatures and sex worker narratives.
