S2 Episode 15: "Speaking my truth" part 1 (guests Princess Howell Johnson, Milanda McGinnis, April Parker, Alexandra Joye Warren)
b'
This week, Festival Director Anne Morris speaks with four Greensboro-based artists: Princess Howell Johnson, Milanda McGinnis, April Parker, and Alexandra Joye Warren. In this 2-part conversation, these four women have an honest discussion on what is needed locally and nationally for Black artists to thrive, and the structural barriers that Black artists have faced and continue to confront and overcome. In this first part of the conversation, we talk about the ways these artists create spaces for and by Black artists, and how their feelings about that work have shifted over the years. We also speak on the importance of \\u201cwho is in the room,\\u201d when decisions about funding, artistic opportunities, and more are on the line, and the ways that efforts like the Black Creatives Revival can support Black artists.
\\n"In Process" is sponsored by Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist\'s Performing Arts Medicine Clinic: WakeHealth.edu/PerformingArtsMed
