MISSION LOGS: Our Misty NIght with Simone Missick Jan 21, 2025

Show notes

As we continue exploring the Micheaux/Missick connection, we reflect on a notable moment at Therapy Wine Bar in Brooklyn around 2017. Vincent and Len sat down with Simone Missick, known for her role in Netflix's "Luke Cage," to review "Coming to America." This conversation became another link in the evolving friendship between the Missicks of Hollywood and the Men of Micheaux.
