Special Black History Month Re-Release: Tanya Talks to Filmmaker Yoruba Richen

Yoruba Richen, whose movie “How It Feels To Be Free” (PBS Documentaries Prime Video Channel) tells the story of six African-American icons: Lena Horne, Abbey Lincoln, Nina Simone, Diahann Carroll, Cicely Tyson and Pam Grier, all of whom insisted on owning their artistic spaces on their own terms, and who are the forerunners for the opportunities that so many of us have today.

About the Podcast

Battletested with Tanya Acker
A podcast about common sense and other things that last.
We’ve all been hit by something hard when we didn’t expect it. We’ve come through battles of every kind - personal, professional, national - and still are fighting some of them. What have we learned from them - and what can our past battles teach us about how to live in the present moment? New episodes of BATTLETESTED air every Wednesday, wherever you get your podcasts.
