<p>Hello - this is a replay episode with the incredible Ava Duvernay. In 2016 she was named one of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oprah_Winfrey" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Oprah Winfrey's</a> <em>SuperSoul 100</em> visionaries, and in 2017 she became the first Black woman nominated for an <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Academy_Award_for_Best_Documentary_Feature" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature</a>, for her film <em>13th. </em>This episode was recorded in 2018, around the time the film A Wrinkle in Time came out (starring a mega cast of Oprah, Mindy Kaling and Reese Witherspoon) which she directed. We chatted about her career, the film and how she changed careers later in the life and how there is no rush when it comes to achieving your creative dreams. I hope you love this episode as much as I do.</p><p><br></p><ul><li>My Substack page, come and say hi: https://thehyphen.substack.com/</li><li>My books: ...
