For the Season 1 finale of Odejuma, Harry chats with James Rogers III, a celebrated screenwriter and executive producer whose creative path is truly inspirational. Growing up in Compton, James never imagined a life in Hollywood until a film class with his father sparked a passion that would reshape his future. From working as a production assistant on a Frank Ocean music video to writing for ‘The Mysterious Benedict Society’ and now serving as an executive producer on ‘The Chi’, James reflects on the lessons, pressures, and triumphs of his journey.
Together, they unpack the power of representation, the beauty of collaboration, and the art of telling stories that honor the complexity of Black life. Warm, insightful, and deeply human, this conversation celebrates creativity, authenticity, and the magic that happens when we dare to imagine ourselves on screen.
