In this episode we talk to Karen McMullen, the Urbanworld Film Festival's director and the head of programming. We explore the origins, evolution, and the future vision of the festival. From its humble beginnings in 1997, created by visionary Stacy Spikes, to its current expansive embrace of all people of color, the event stands as a testament to the power of storytelling and the importance of representation.
