Nzingha Stewart on Creating Visual Intimacy Onscreen, Worshiping a God of ‘Yes, And….’, and Directing From Scratch from ‘Eros’ to ‘Agape’

Hosted by Tembi Locke, New York Times bestselling author, actor, and Executive Producer of Netflix’s From Scratch, Lifted is a multi-season series investigating and celebrating what it takes to transform challenges into the inspired work of a lifetime. The podcast focuses on the behind-the-scenes events, human stumbling blocks, and eventual tools that lead to resilience. Deeply personal, full of humor, Lifted pulls back the curtain on the "extraordinary moment when everything changed" and, through candid conversations with remarkable female creators, writers, entrepreneurs, artists and thought leaders, it creates a guide for the individual and collective resilience and joy that lifts our lives. Each season pulls at the thematic threads of From Scratch by looking at moments of 'lift' through the lenses of art, food, and travel -- creating an ongoing conversation ignited by the series. The first season consists of eight unforgettable conversations with the female creators and collaborators behind the powerful Netflix series and global hit From Scratch.
