Last week, Amazon dropped the highly-anticipated documentary Megan Thee Stallion: In Her Own Words, directed by Nneka Onuorah. It’s no secret how much we love Megan over here, and this documentary brilliantly showcases the rise of one of the most charismatic and lovable rappers in the game, while also allowing Megan to be vulnerable in discussions of her mental health after several tragedies. 

Today I'm joined by the director, Nneka, to learn more about how she approached the documentary. During our conversation she gives us a behind-the-scenes look at how the film was created, while also discussing what she hopes you’ll take away from the film, especially when it comes to ideas like grief and wellness in the Black community.
