Colorism Part Deux (ft. Portia Bartley) - a podcast by Maximum Fun

For this week’s FANTI, Jarrett and Tre’Vell are joined by actress and writer Portia Bartley to get into what colorism looks like in the media, particularly as a darker-skinned Black woman in Hollywood. Portia describes how frustrating it is to be considered for a role, only to have it go to someone who looks like Jarrett’s cousin. Plus, does Idris Elba have a point in arguing that people should only be allowed to post on social media if they use their real names? Jarrett and Tre’Vell have some thoughts.

For any listeners that want to attend a live taping of FANTI, you can! FANTI is going to appear at The London Podcast Festival on September 5th, and tickets are on sale now. Anyone anywhere can attend online.
