He also discusses his production company, Louverture Films; inspired in name by Haitian liberator Toussaint L'Ouverture. Glover speaks about his role in the TransAfrica Forum in Washington, D.C. and the efforts to pursue intersectionality in policies concerning Africa and African-descendant groups by founder Randall Robinson.
