For the penultimate episode of HBO's Lovecraft Country we head back in time to Tulsa, Oklahoma in 1921. And to help us process the trauma of the episode and provide advice for how Black creatives can process trauma on screen, we welcome psychiatrist and "Married to Medicine: LA" star, Dr. Imani Walker.

Black girl rage and stolen girlhood are centerstage in ep. 8 of Lovecraft Country, and the episode's writer Ihuoma Ofordire stops by the show to help us process what white supremacy does to Black girls. 

Hippolyta got something to say. This week, Lovecraft Country journeys across time and space as Hippolyta Freeman gets answers. To help us break it all down, we're joined by the supremely talented (and cool!) Aunjanue Ellis, who chats with us about Lovecraft, Black women's genius, and why she will forever love the Clark Sisters.
