This interview so good I’ve watched it in its entirety three times and it hasn’t even been up for a whole week yet. Heben knew exactly when to ask Quinta to elaborate on what we all want to know.

51:59 Quinta meant Lorraine Hansberry and James Baldwin's book "To Be Young, Gifted and Black" (not Alice Walker).

Her look reminds me of the en vogue free your mind video. Very '90s.
