WOCU GONE GOOD
Cheryl L. Bedford is the driving force behind Women of Color Unite - WOCU - and there's something you need to know from the start: She is OK with being uncomfortable - in fact, she prefers it that way - because she believes that's where positive change happens. WOCU is the LA-based social action and non-profit organization focused on remedying the inequities that face Women of Color in today’s entertainment and media industries. This group stands for hiring parity, fair treatment, and providing resources to Women of Color content creators industry-wide. As a collective of over 5000 women and growing, they work to create opportunities for engagement between hiring agents and their active membership of experienced women to address the indefensible precept: “I don’t know any WOC that I can hire.” In this episode, Cheryl brings the conversation of race and inequality front and center, providing solutions that are action-oriented and achievable. This is one good - GREAT - conversation.

TONYA GONE GOOD
Tony Award winner Tonya Pinkins thrives by learning and listening. An actress who's gone from Jelly's Last Jam to Caroline or Change on Broadway to TV roles including her 20 year run as 'Livia' on All My Children, she's reached a place in her life where she's comfortable with who she is and yet she continues to still strive to evolve as an artist and as a person. She's the guiding force - literally she wrote, produced, directed, acted, and cooked too - for and behind her horror feature film, Red Pill. We talk the good of wearing multiple hats, spending time with people who don't share our political views, playing a love triangle where no one has sex with each other, and why everyone deserves one good scare just in time for Halloween.
