Description

In this episode of Love. Period., Emmy nominated actress Aunjanue Ellis mentors us on how to love the world better. Aside from being an actress, she's also an activist who recently worked to get the Mississippi flag changed.
She is the president and CEO of Miss Myrtis Films, and co-founder of Take it Down America. These are two great organizations that have strived to abolish racist southern symbols from Mississippi and other surrounding states through education, advocacy, and short documentaries.

Do you yearn for a new vision of Christianity—one with love and justice at the core of its practice? Rev. Dr. Jacqui Lewis animates a renewed faith for our times in her new podcast Love Period. As a writer, scholar, activist, and leader of a radically accepting congregation in New York City, Rev. Jacqui brings her devotion, clarity, and energy to this conversational podcast. In conversation with artists, activists, and faith leaders, such as Rev. Barbara Brown Taylor, Wajahat Ali, and many others, Rev. Jacqui reveals the transformative potential—and urgent need—for radical love in our times.
