About this episode
What does it really mean to live your truth? It’s a phrase we hear often, but rarely define. Is it about being your most authentic self? Seeing the world clearly and finding your place in it? Or is it something deeper?Today on Shaping Freedom, we’re diving into this question with Emmy award-winning filmmaker, writer, professor, and Moth Grand Slam champion Phil Branch. His work sits at the intersection of identity, race, and media representation, all with a focus on truth-telling.
Phil will take us on the journey of creating the highly acclaimed Searching for Shinnequa, exploring our biases, how they shape us, and what it truly means to live your truth in a post-truth world.
