  • Love this podcast.

    Hi :)

    My name is Jamisa J. and I hope to work with Ryan Coogler one day, God willingly. I love these convos he does with other directors/writers they all feel very light and informative but also supportive. I believe that’s what other creators need within ourselves to show love to other creators because ultimately we need each other to keep growing and expanding this difficult art form. Much love to everyone apart of this podcast.

As I go through this quiet season of soaking game, this podcast is helping me get through some challenging times of wanting to write but having to develop the discipline to letting th... more

Q: Hello, Queen Serena. It's Hailee. I have about a million questions I could ask you, but I am curious about this. You have such a calm strength and fierce confidence in your work and in your presence. When you are deep in a project, how do you know when it's finished or when to keep digging?

The process is ongoing, and the team continually finds new angles, especially given the personal stakes of the project and the evolving understanding of the time period and culture represented.
