As Jazmine seeks solace and guidance from her grandmother, listeners are transported back to 1971, where two remarkable women from vastly different backgrounds, with opposing political views and living oceans apart, embark on a romance that defies all conventions.Red for Revolution was created, written, and directed by Jana Naomi Smith, with sound design by Collin Gerald Thomas, music direction by Tammy L. Hall, executive produced by Renée Wilson, Jana Smith, & Meta Mana Media, and produced by Liz McBee.You can listen via Radiotopia, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or anywhere you find podcasts.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
