In this powerful episode of Destination Impact, host Desirae Jones sits down with Academy Award-nominated filmmaker and photographer RaMell Ross to explore the transformative power of storytelling.
From his early days teaching in rural Alabama to directing Hale County This Morning, This Evening and the highly anticipated Nickel Boys, Ross shares how quiet observation can fuel radical truth-telling—and why documenting both injustice and joy is essential to cultural memory.
Together, they reflect on the role of artists as witnesses, the emotional weight of carrying other people’s stories, and how presence—not noise—is often the most impactful tool for change.
📍 Recorded live in Tallahassee during the Nickel Boys HBCU tour at FAMU.
