About this listen

Director Kasi Lemmons joins Jemele to discuss how she used her love of writing to make the transition from acting to directing. Kasi shares how directing Eves Bayou -- her first film — had an immense impact on her career, why the movie continues to be relevant, and whether or not she’s ever considered adapting Eve’s Bayou for television. Kasi also discusses what it was like directing the Whitney Houston biopic I Wanna Dance With Somebody, and the challenges associated with telling the story of one of the globe’s most beloved stars. She also shares her own experiences meeting Whitney Houston and how those experiences shaped the direction of the film. Plus, Jemele explains why she hates that she knows more about NBA star Zion Williamson than she ever planned to. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
