Unbraiding Myths features a conversation with filmmaker and lens-based artist Kourtney Jackson, whose works gently unravel the stories we tell ourselves about identity, spirituality, and selfhood. Host Kerry-Ann James dives into Kourtneys hybrid storytelling approach and explores the space where personal myth and experimental form meet. Together, they reflect on faith, filmmaking, and the process of creating from a place of somatic truth and spiritual curiosity.

From TIFF to Sundance, Kourtneys projects speak deeply to the lived experience of Black womanhood, queerness, and interiority. In this episode, youll hear about her path into filmmaking, the spiritual themes within her celebrated works like 1 vers[us] 1, Wash Day, and In My Bones, and whats next as she expands into installation art with Shedding Heaviness.

This episode reminds us that sometimes, to move forward in our creative and spiritual lives, we must lovingly untangle the stories weve inheritedand make room for something new.
