Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor: Still a Mississippi Girl

This week, TS Madison is sitting down with the incomparable, Academy Award-nominated actress Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor!  We get into it all: Mississippi Roots: Growing up in the South, the realities outsiders miss, her family’s Civil Rights legacy, and using her platform to help remove the Confederate emblem from the Mississippi flag. Career & Craft: From Undercover Brother to the spiritual force of Lovecraft Country. “Messy” Opinions: Aunjanue offers a perspective on a certain Oscars moment that sparked worldwide debate. 👀 Living Her Truth: Queerness, unlearning shame, and navigating sexuality outside rigid labels. Faith vs. Religion: A thoughtful, candid exchange about Christianity, the Bible, and personal belief. What’s Next: Her role in the upcoming film "'Tis So Sweet" (dir. Tasha Smith) starring Taraji P. Henson and Joey Bada$$, and the Sister Rosetta Tharpe biopic she’s writing—with Mick Jagger producing. Plus: a little tea about TS Madison's biopic currently in development with Lee Daniels. 👀 “Outlaws” is hosted by TS Madison and is part of the Outspoken Network from iHeartPodcasts, co-produced by Turtle Run Entertainment.Join our Patreon for exclusive content.: https://patreon.com/outlawswithtsmadisonSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
