Little Known Facts is a weekly podcast hosted by stage and film actress Ilana Levine. With over 150 interviews to date with today's most successful artists, Levine engages her celebrity guests in intimate conversations that are hilarious, vulnerable, revealing and inspiring. Ilana's unique brand of celebrity interview has been called "Podcast Vérité," because her conversations are unfiltered, raw, honest and uniquely funny.

Today's episode features Jordan Thierry- a documentary filmmaker, activist, and storyteller. He has worked for over a decade to highlight the stories of people of color and working to undo the ongoing legacy of systemic racism in the U.S.A.

"When I was coming out of my undergraduate program with a major in Journalism and a focus on Documentary Storytelling, I was very eager to make my first project," he explained. "I had just moved from Oregon to Washington DC to go to graduate school at Howard University and was seeing the complete opposite... having a lot of the small instances magnified in DC. Just seeing the poverty and struggles of the community at that level was one that that made me ask a lot of questions."
