About this listen

This week, TS Madison is sitting down with the incomparable, Academy Award-nominated actress Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor!

We get into it all:

  • Mississippi Roots: Growing up in the South, the realities outsiders miss, her family’s Civil Rights legacy, and using her platform to help remove the Confederate emblem from the Mississippi flag.

  • Career & Craft: From Undercover Brother to the spiritual force of Lovecraft Country.

  • “Messy” Opinions: Aunjanue offers a perspective on a certain Oscars moment that sparked worldwide debate. 👀

  • Living Her Truth: Queerness, unlearning shame, and navigating sexuality outside rigid labels.

  • Faith vs. Religion: A thoughtful, candid exchange about Christianity, the Bible, and personal belief.

  • What’s Next: Her role in the upcoming film "'Tis So Sweet" (dir. Tasha Smith) starring Taraji P. Henson and Joey Bada$$, and the Sister Rosetta Tharpe biopic she’s writing—with Mick Jagger producing.

Plus: a little tea about TS Madison's biopic currently in development with Lee Daniels. 👀

“Outlaws” is hosted by TS Madison and is part of the Outspoken Network from iHeartPodcasts, co-produced by Turtle Run Entertainment.
