Directed by Olivia Kuan, The Herricanes will be featured in key fim festivals including Slamdance 2024 this week in Park City, Utah. The Houston Herricanes was a women's professional full-tackle football team. The players found camaraderie and strength as they controversially open a new door in the world of sports. Women playing football and stepping into a terf, not just dominated, but protected for, and only allowed for men. The Houston Herricanes were a part of the first women's full tackle football league in the 1970s. Their unknown story is one of commitment, courage, and strength. Despite adversity and hardship, they fielded a team purely for the love of the game. What they started is a movement that is still in motion today. Lisa France began her film and TV career as a stunt woman . She directed, co-wrote and produced her first feature film, Anne B Real in 2003, which won more than 30 film festival awards and nominations around the world, including two Independent Spirit Award nominations, a Black Reel Award, Urbanworld, Pan African Film Festival and American Black Film Festival.

This episode is amazing, and Bela chats with the brilliant, prolific author Amy Ferris (author of "Mighty Gorgeous, A Little Book About Messy Love). Amy's life has been the most incredible journey, from watching her father get arrested (and then acquitted), leaving home at 15 years old to go live on a commune (Jewish girls did NOT do that back in the day), lots of bad men along the way, and the connection to the RIGHT one (during the filming of a movie she wrote, directed by Anthony Minghella, and starring half a dozen Hollywood icons). Amy is a fierce advocate for women, and for helping us to love EVERY SINGLE PART of ourselves. You'll hear her best, grooviest advice, her love lessons, why people-pleasing is so detrimental, how to "Own Your Life", why "Self Love is Good Love is Grand Love is Love", and why we shouldn't waste time.
