On this episode, we are excited to bring Suzanne into the village. Suzanne is the creator and producer of a documentary called "Le Choisi" ("The Chosen"). Le Choisi the documentary serves as a guidebook to discovering you are chosen. It tells the story of first generation Africans who are living in America and France and their journey of dream chasing. We talk about racial and sociopolitical dynamics from her experience between black people in France v here in the US, new perspectives that came from the documentary and her journey to creating it during the pandemic.
