Show Notes

This week we welcome writer, executive producer, showrunner and novelist, Rasheed Newson. We discuss Rasheed's newest must-own book, "My Government Means to Kill Me: A Novel", what it takes to center Black, queer stories and making modern history accessible.
We also get candid about Rasheed's 20+ years in Hollywood, writing on shows like Bel-Air, The Chi, and Lie to Me as he shares  what has and not changed about representation.  Plus Rasheed shares one of our, new, favorite Bad Queer Opinions.
