EPISODE DESCRIPTION
Today, I sit down with award-winning actor Daniel Kaluuya, best known for his roles in “Black Panther” and “Get Out”. In this conversation, Daniel looks back on the challenges he faced as a Black aspiring actor, the frustration felt when his experience was invalidated, and the prejudiced nature of Hollywood. We learn about the creative spark behind his directorial debut "The Kitchen" and his firm belief that one's potential to realize a dream is not dictated by the opinions of others.
