In March 2023, Thomas conducted nine interviews in eight days, underscoring the series’ commitment to preparation, endurance, and meaningful conversation. Season One of the third major iteration (2026) features exclusive conversations with Emmy Award-winning actress and comedian Kym Whitley and Emmy Award-winning, NAACP Image Award-winning filmmaker and cultural storyteller Coodie Simmons, continuing the series’ tradition of spotlighting influential voices through authentic, unscripted dialogue.
