Beschrijving

Academy Award–winning actor Ariana DeBose joins Tracy E. Gilchrist to talk about Scarpetta, a tense thriller that doubles as a portrait of a big, messy Italian family and the woman at its center.

The conversation also explores Lucy’s grief over her wife and the show’s provocative use of AI as a coping mechanism. Ariana reflects on the importance of authentic queer representation on screen and the emotional imperative to feel deeply and live fully. The episode closes with a poignant reflection inspired by Prince’s iconic song “Purple Rain.” Subscribe to Holding Space with Tracy E.
