Summary
From the streets of Compton in Los Angeles, Calif., U.S.A. to the soundstages of Hollywood — meet the creative forces redefining opportunity for marginalised talent. In this powerful episode, Malcolm Spellman (writer of Disney+'s "The Falcon and The Winter Soldier"), Emil Pinnock, and Jimmy Chris share how their nonprofit Genius in the Hood is giving back to the communities that raised them — offering mentorship, education, and access to aspiring storytellers from underrepresented backgrounds. Hear their journey of resilience, purpose, and passion — and how they’re building a bridge for the next generation of geniuses in the hood.
