When BLM protests swept across the country in 2020, many celebrities shared their support on social media. Actor Kendrick Sampson (Insecure, The Vampire Diaries) actually joined protestors in the streets and hasn’t stopped fighting since. In the first episode of season two, Kendrick joins Isha to talk about his ongoing efforts to push the movement for Black liberation forward. He doesn’t shy away from tough conversations about police brutality and systemic racism — and shares how his personal experiences with both have shaped the impactful work he is doing today.
