ICONversations, Pt. 3: Tracy Heather Strain

Welcome to our ICONversations, a series where you will hear iconic Black feminist anthropologists answer five questions about their intellectual projects and growth, what their work has meant to them, and the imprints they want to leave on the world.

We're doing something a little different today: We had the opportunity to speak with Tracy Heather Strain, award-winning writer, director, and producer whose most recent work covers the life and times of Zora Neale Hurston. Her work aims to reveal the ways that our positionality shape lives and reflect and challenge society's narratives. As she says: "I feel a great responsibility to try to bring complexity and nuance to Black women's lives on screen."

Be sure to check out Tracy's work American Experience presents Zora Neale Hurston: Claiming a Space on PBS!
