Screenwriter, producer, and filmmaker, Kevin. T Morales joins Sandie to talk about the lifelong journey of storytelling. He comes from a family of artists and storytellers, and he's even had lunch with Francis Ford Coppola. In this episode, Kevin gives advice to aspiring filmmakers and directors on how to find your voice, write through grief, and maybe consider moving out of the United States. Of course, we also talk about the three filmmakers that inspired him to find his voice: Alejandro Iñárritu, Guillermo del Toro and Alfonso Cuarón.

In the season finale, Sandie is joined by notorious "troublemaker," Simon Tam, the frontman of The Slants. Over the span of almost a decade, the band fought to keep their name with the U.S. Trademark Office and finally won a historic freedom of speech case with the Supreme Court in 2017. Think trademark law doesn't apply to you? Think again! Simon not only discusses this case, but also what it was like to grow up in Southern California, bullying, grief, and his newly released memoir, Slanted. At the end of this episode, there is also a sneak preview of their Broadway show in development!

This week, stage tech and photographer, Aaron Amodt joins Sandie to tell the story of the Chinese magician Ching Ling Foo...and his infamous rival, Ching Ling Soo. A magician never reveals his secret, but we'll give you a hint: one of them is in yellowface. If Rachel Dolezal can get away with it, why are we even surprised a master of illusion in the late 1800s could, too? Aaron also discusses his time traveling with the Ringling Brothers, working in theater, and much to Sandie's dismay, how Josh Groban (Sandie's first true celebrity crush) slid in some DMs!

This week, fashion designer and tailor, Jessica Yuen, joins Sandie to tell the story of Wong Kim Ark, a Chinese-American who brought birthright citizenship to the Supreme Court when denied entry during the Chinese Exclusion Act. Before this, Sandie stalked Jessica as an audience member when she was on a panel for Asian-Americans in the arts. It sounds creepy, but a beautiful friendship actually forms...like Netflix's You. Kidding! Don't romanticize stalking, you guys. It's gross. Anyway, they talk about growing up as one of the only Chinese families on the block, and the guilt they live with in the often misunderstood realities of being in an interracial relationship.

It's Black History Month and the day before Lunar New Year -- welcome to Season 2 of Now In Color, presented by Brick By Brick Studios. That's right, folks, Sandie has moved from her living room to an actual studio. To kick off this season premiere, Ezra Bynum comes by again and tells the story of Robert Smalls, a former slave turned sea captain and politician who commandeered a Confederate ship. Basically, an action movie should be made about him because in 2019, we are done with mediocre white man narratives.

Do you ever wonder why you're often treated like a circus freak or why your culture is put on an exhibition display?

This week, comedian and actor SJ Son joins Sandie to tell the story of Afong Moy (it's also not her real name). SJ tells white people to read 5 articles per day. Sandie agrees. They also discuss interracial dating under the white gaze.
