For the season 1 finale, Rita sits down with artist, writer, filmmaker, and activist, Talamieka Brice. A native of Kilmichael and Duck Hill, Mississippi, Brice talks about what it was like growing up fighting racism and discrimination in rural Mississippi, her journey as a writer and artist, how she fights against her imposter syndrome in new spaces, the process of making the Obama mural at the elementary school in Jackson, and the joys and anxieties of being a mother to a Black boy in this moment. Rita and Talamieka talk about the importance of HBCUs and how they were both shaped by attending one.

Talamieka gives a preview of her new documentary film, "5: A Mother's Journey," which has won awards at film festivals around the world.
