Kirby Howell-Baptiste

Clark and Kirby bond over both being delusional about the origin of their friendship. Kirby reveals how she lets negative comments from people she doesn’t know roll right off her back. Clark asks Kirby about being raised in North London, and Kirby shares how she got involved with acting at a young age. Clark and Kirby discuss Kirby’s re-education with racism after moving to the US. Kirby reveals her experience with being racially profiled in a designer store. Clark and Kirby discuss the need for reparations for Black Americans. Finally, Kirby shares what is currently healing her mind, body and spirit—her Soul Balm.
