Show Notes
Hey lady! Black History Month may be officially over, but we celebrate the richness of our history every day, which is why this week’s episode is extra special. Jayme Lawson and Weruche Opia, stars of the Disney/Hulu series GENIUS: MLK/X, join Terri and Dr. Dom for a beautiful conversation about the wonder and depth of the Black experience. The two powerhouses share their testimonies of endurance and perseverance to position themselves to portray the extraordinary legacies of Dr. Betty X Shabazz and Coretta Scott King on the small screen. Both women are civil rights luminaries in their own right and spouses to civil rights icons Dr. Martin Luther King and Malcolm X. The ladies dive deep into their research and process for fleshing out these roles and bringing fresh light and perspective to the incredible stories of the women. Lady, if you’re looking for inspiration on how to lead a full life of integrity and purpose tune in for this awesome episode!
Quote of the Day:
"Sometimes, I am also identified as a civil rights leader or a human rights activist. I would also like to be thought of as a complex, three-dimensional, flesh-and-blood human being with a rich storehouse of experiences, much like everyone else, yet unique in my own way, much like everyone else.”
– Coretta Scott King
