The term “gentrification” has made its way into everyday conversations. As many U.S. cities have undergone massive change in recent decades, gentrification often disrupts the character of many historic neighborhoods of color with the influx of wealthy white people moving into the areas. A new series, “Intersection,” created, produced and set in Atlanta, captures the subject with nuance and humor. Lead actor Jacinte Blankenship even picked up a Primetime Emmy Award nomination this year for her role in the series.
WABE TV will be airing the series on Friday nights starting Jan. 6. Meg Messmer is the showrunner, producer and director of the “Intersection” series, and she joined “City Lights” host Lois Reitzes via Zoom to share more about it.
