Episode 71: Tony on the Mic - 19 Shades of Black's John Brooks

Today I am joined by John Brooks, writer and producer of “19 Shades of Black,” a documentary asking 19 black women about their experience and women of color in the world today. This award-winning documentary has been in several festivals and is available to the public for a limited time. We meet the author and learn of his inspiration for the project and the process. He shares his passion for language and travel and his encyclopedia level knowledge of Star Trek. We hear about his campaigns for congress, (yes, “campaigns,” plural ... glutton for punishment I guess) his musical proclivity, other projects and what he would have as a last meal.
