In this episode of Dope Interviews, host Warren Shaw sits down with Hollywood trailblazer La Faye Baker — the first African American woman to coordinate stunts on a major project. From doubling for legends like Angela Bassett and Regina King to launching the Action Icon Awards, Baker has spent decades breaking barriers in Hollywood and beyond.

Now, she’s shifting her impact to the next generation with her groundbreaking new book, You’re Not Listening To… What I Have to Say, an anthology amplifying the voices of young women and addressing topics like depression, bullying, suicide, and resilience.
