BONUS: Promoting Black Films Overseas- A Discussion with Hollywood Producer Juanita Ingram on her show The Expat International Ingrams, Disney's Little Mermaid, and Netflix's Queen Charlotte

In this Hollywood edition of Global Take Podcast, we discuss the challenges of promoting black films overseas and how racism and social media in America impact Black American movie sales and films overseas, especially in Asia. Juanita Ingram discusses the ups and downs of producing the second season of The Expats International Ingrams, sharing stories of black women dating overseas, and promoting black beauty through winning Mrs. Universe 2023.

Global Take Podcast Host, Alexanderia Haidara, and Juanita reflect on the obstacles that Black Hollywood Producers face promoting their content in global markets. They dive deep into the fallout over Netflix's Queen Charlotte's true heritage and whether she had African ancestry, why Disney's Little Mermaid tanked in China's movie box office, and why Egyptians could not accept that Queen Cleopatra could be black.
