3. Words With Friends: Yasmina Price & Interiority Tales of Our Sisters
-
- TV & Film
On today's episode, I introduce to you the podcast's new segment, Words With Friends, where I sit down and have a conversation with a Black woman storyteller about their art, their lives, their obsessions, and their techniques.
Today, we're joined by Yasmina Price, a writer, researcher, and Ph.D. student currently obtaining her degree in both African American Studies and Film/Media Studies at Yale University. She’s written brilliant essays highlighting Black filmmakers across the diaspora for sites such as Vulture Magazine, Criterion, The New York Inquiry, and The Metrograph. It was her essay on Kathleen Collins titled “Kathleen Collins’s Ecstatic Self-Discovery,” for the New York Review of Books that made my heart leap. And in our conversation, we talk about all things Kathleen, from her teaching the interior perspective, the lack of tools provided to do so consistently, her contribution to lush, intimate Black storytelling, and just how radical that position was.
