In this chat with Josh, Halle opens up about learning to balance a thriving career with new motherhood, the strong women who shaped her, dealing with hair inequality and why she's a firm believer in speaking things into existence. She also reflects on what it meant to step into the role of Ariel — and how she rose above the wave of criticism that came with it. Of course we also talk about Halle’s new movie, ‘You, Me and Tuscany’ too, the white washing of rom-coms, why it shouldn't be a surprise to see two Black leads in a rom com and what made this project extra special: it was her first time ever working with a woman director.
