TBB Talks to ... Marianne Jean-Baptiste

Published on: 23rd October, 2018

TBB Talks spoke to our much loved Marianne Jean-Baptiste about acting, parenting, meditation and more...

Marianne Jean-Baptiste has been quietly chipping away at her impressive acting career for a couple of decades now.

Showing as part of this year's BFI London Film Festival, In Fabric, directed by Peter Strickland is 'a haunting ghost story set against the backdrop of a busy winter sales period in a department store, following the life of a cursed dress as it passes from person to person, with devastating consequences'. 

Jean-Baptiste plays 'Sheila', a recently divorced mother of one son, who is hopefully looking for love. Vulnerably played, Jean-Baptiste has been cast in a role, and a film not usually the domain of black women actresses.

Your Aunties Could Never

Your Aunties Could Never brings you entertaining no nonsense straight talk from women who aren't afraid to say all the things you wish you could say.

Aunty AK, Aunty Farrah, Aunty Nana, and Aunty Sade are four friends from the UK who have lived life and are well respected in business endeavours and amongst friends and family. Elevating them to Elite Auntie status.

The Aunties have a voice and are not fearful of being heard. Join them as they discuss topical news and politics, comment on popular culture and give advice all from an informed (mature) Black woman's perspective.

Think a daytime chat show but with seasoning, real talk & large amounts of Melanin Magic.
