Stellar example of a well conceived and executed interview. So many topics and even more aspects of those topics touched and shared in a way that is as much informative as it inspires the audience to keep thinking about them and ask more questions... Also, just finished watching the show and the fact that I am gonna watch it all over again next week is review enough. I was sold after the first 30 minutes. Highest quality TV...

She also worked on Stay Close....wow! I found that on Netflix and said it was so good, and of course not American, lol! Im American and the shows being produced over here (and usually not by blacks) suck.
