Gurl, You Tried It

Surface Level

Damon, Jordan & Tony are curious – when is criticism friend or foe?

In season one, we discussed the environment of cancel culture. Today, we go further in examining public critique and when it is helpful—and when it is not. We are honored to welcome Lena Waithe, actor, producer, and screenwriter, to our Surface Level family. Together, we explore the societal boxes we are often defined by, the importance of cultivating community both on and off screen, how social media chatter does or does not affect the art we create, and the stories we tell. This episode is one we are truly excited to share as we begin the journey into 2025.

We know a lot, but we don’t know it all, so join the conversation on social and let us know your thoughts.
