Millicent Johnnie comes on the podcast to bring insights and perspectives into justice in the arts, including artists' own complicity in injustice. We talk about the practice of land acknowledgement and complications around its current manifestation. Millicent shares her perspectives from being in indegenous communities and what bringing those practices to her art has meant.  We finish the episode with a hugely important discussion of the philanthropic system and how it is still rooted in practices of genocide and exploitation. These are the cultural models of funding in the arts.   Millicent Johnnie is a dancer, choreographer, director, activist and educator. She is a two time United States Artists nominee in dance, Chief Executive Officer at Millicent Johnnie Films L.L.C. and Chief Visionary Producer of 319 Productions. Millicent’s website is currently under construction, however you can find out more about her work through her youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCt16fxxDjoopKOTN0mnUuqw   Patreon:  https://www.patreon.com/roguetheology Julia Brandenberger: www.roguetheology.com Follow on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/revisioningthearts/ julia@roguetheology.com Music: "Theme for Julia," by Mira Treatman, licensed under CC BY 2.0

Ep 10: Supply, Demand and Complicity in Unjust Labor with Millicent Johnnie

In this episode of our Six Weeks to Fitness podcast, I will be joined by award winning choreographer and director, Millicent Johnnie.  During the interview, Millicent will share her journey growing up in a small town in Louisiana, being enrolled in ballet classes at age 5 and reading biographies of Alvin Ailey and Katharine Dunham. In her teens, Millicent hosted a TV show called “Those Tender Years” that was met by protests and objection by the local KKK who subjected her to ongoing harassment and threats– an experience that Millicent credits for the resilience and determination behind her success today.  Millicent believes that you can achieve anything you want in life as long as your mind, body and spirit is in balance.  Millicent will also discuss the importance of living a healthy lifestyle and provide encouragement and advice for anyone trying to break into the entertainment industry.
