Bonus: Beandrea Wonders What “Being In Your Body” Means

 

Is Centered a memoir? What do you hope listeners will take from the show? What’s next for the series?

Centered Producer and Sound Designer extraordinaire Hannah Smith interviews Beandrea July about the backstory that lead her to create Centered, including her time spent training to teach yoga at Kripalu Yoga Center and meditating at Spirit Rock Meditation Center. They talk vulnerability, hot tubs, and dig into what it really means to “be in your body” in daily life.

Also Beandrea wants you to know that everyone was fully clothed during the making of Centered and she receives no kickbacks from Piedmont Springs.

Centered is a fiction podcast starring Jerrika Hinton.

Created, written, and directed by Beandrea July

Produced, recorded, and mixed by Hannah Smith. Sound Design by Hannah Smith

Audio Dramatic’s Elena Fernandez Collins raves about Centered

In turn hilarious and heart-wrenching, this new podcast centering the lives of women of color is a touching exploration of family dynamics, both exploitative or loving ones, and personal growth. [In Centered] Creator Beandrea July knows exactly how to get into your heart and take root early on.
