In a recent podcast episode, Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor discusses her journey as an actor and activist, highlighting her Mississippi roots and the importance of civil rights activism. She also shares her experiences in the entertainment industry, her role in "Nickel Boys," and her fondness for Atlanta, where she currently resides due to family ties. Ellis-Taylor describes Atlanta as a city that honors and keeps civil rights history alive, inspired by figures like Martin Luther King Jr., and discusses her recommended road trips in the South.
'What I like about Atlanta, it is a place where it keeps history very much alive with King and all of these freedom rights or civil rights.'
'I have a bunch of cousins and it's a big city, and it's close enough that I can get back to Mississippi pretty quickly because it's not far, relatively.'
