About

Hair designer Nakoya Yancey talks about her work on Colin In Black & White, getting the call in fly in and create young Colin Kaepernick's cornrows and working with Ava DuVernay in numerous productions, including the award-winning, When They See Us.  Nakoya discusses the importance of authenticity and inclusion, how things are changing on sets... and how they aren't... in this illuminating conversation.  Nakoya also discusses Sarah Jessica Parker being the ultimate boss on And Just Like That, and how she got her start in this difficult business as well as juggling raising a teenager through it all.  I love this episode, and know you will too.
