Issa Rae’s Little Jab, Values And A Little #Metoo

The Academy Award nominations came out last week and not one female director was nominated. After reading off the nominees, Issa Rae said, "Congratulations to all those men." So if a woman isn't nominated each year, then is the Academy just being sexist? Today on the Spiritual Spiral, I welcome my friend and actor Polly Humphreys to the show. We talk about the challenges women face in Hollywood trying to receive the same recognition as men. We talk about Issa Rae's comments and I wonder if her comments can actually cause change or was it it just bad timing and unfair to the other deserving nominees. We also discuss Harvey Weinstein, Bombshell, the #metoo movement and how our culture may be perpetuating this terrible behavior. If you enjoy the show, there are a few things you can do that would be incredibly helpful. You could share it with your friends or head on over to iTunes and write a quick review.
