Episode 7 | "For Us, By Us: Sacred Space, Twinness, and the Dance of Sinners" | Jénée Potts

Jénée Potts is an identical twin. She is also Assistant Director of the Institute for Black Intellectual and Cultural Life at Dartmouth College — the institution that produced this series. In this episode, she talks about the moment in Sinners that moved her most: not the horror, not the music portal, but the scene where Pearl performs and an entire room becomes one body. She connects that scene to a painting, to Yoruba traditions around twins, and to what it actually felt like to watch Ryan Coogler get the twin dynamic right. The most intimate conversation in the series — and the most accessible. This episode is hosted by Dr. Brittney Frantece, Thurgood Marshall Postdoctoral Fellow, Department of African and African American Studies, Dartmouth College, and is produced by the Dartmouth Institute for Black Intellectual and Cultural Life in collaboration with the Dartmouth Media Production Group.
