Crenshaw’s The Story of Us, and explores how cinematic storytelling has long been, and continues to be, critical to shaping the contours of democratic inclusion. Who gets to be a hero or a villain in popular depictions of American life? Who gets written out of the story altogether? And how do Hollywood portrayals influence the amount political power that various demographics of Americans hold in real life?Featuring W Kamau Bell, the 2023 Sundance Vanguard Award winner, comic, and television hostHolly Cook Macarro, Tribal Advocate & Political StrategistJason Stanley, author and Jacob Urowsky Professor of Philosophy at Yale UniversityRoger Ross Williams, Academy Award-winning Director, Writer, and ProducerHosted by Kimberlé Crenshaw (@sandylocks)Produced by Sr Producer Nicole EdwardsMixing by Sean DunnamSupport provided by the African American Policy ForumMusic by Blue Dot SessionsFollow us at @intersectionalitymatters (X), @IMKC_podcast (Instagram)
