Ep 40: From the queen: Black is King

Black is King, the visually stunning film by Beyoncé has brought up a lot of conversation. In this episode we talk to “the blue man” dancer Papi Oji about his role in the film and dig deeper into some of the praise and criticisms from Africans and African Americans. We hear from writers across the diaspora who help us take a deeper look at the art that has some of us in awe, and some of us conflicted.

Stephen ‘Papa’ Ojo, dancer
Judicaelle Irakoz, writer
