EP 283: Emmy Nominated Writer/Performer Shantira Jackson
Episode description
Shantira Jackson (Big Mouth, The Amber Ruffin Show) and host Erin Foley discuss the WNBA groundbreaking documentary Power of the Dream - the empowering and unlikely true story of how a group of professional women's basketball players took on a WNBA team owner and rallied behind now — Senator Raphael Warnock, forever changing the landscape of their sport and the course of U.S. politics.
The documentary was produced by Sue Bird, Nneka Ogwumike, Tracee Ellis Ross and Dawn Porter — who also directed it.
Foley and Jackson take a deep dive on the doc — shining a light on the WNBA players' heroic activism (on an off the court) during a global pandemic. The reviews are in...it's a must see! Plus, the feel good moment of the week.
