What happens when the inner voice of prayer collides with the outer world of storytelling? In this soul-stirring episode of The Rest is Commentary, host Shep Rosenman sits down with Brazilian writer-director Anne Pinheiro Guimarães for a raw and reflective conversation that spans continents, cultures, and questions of the self.
Together, they explore the thin line between self-awareness and self-judgment, and how prayer—not just as ritual but as a posture of the heart—can guide us through it. Anne opens up about her creative process, the quiet power of diary-keeping, and the ongoing negotiation between identity, heritage, and personal transformation.
From the complexities of sexuality and family to the pull of diaspora and the persistence of memory, this episode invites you into the intimate territory where art, spirit, and truth collide. Whether you're a longtime listener or just tuning in, this is a journey you won’t want to miss.
