Join host Erin Prather Stafford as she shares No Ordinary Love filmmakers Chyna Robinson and Tracy Rector. The lines between romantic ideals and obsession become blurred when a woman finds herself in a dangerous situation with her police officer husband. After exposing his secret to her pastor’s wife, the two women’s lives intersect with shocking results.
 
Chyna Robinson is an award-winning filmmaker whose work has appeared on national and international film circuits. Her director work includes the historical drama Greenwood: 13 Hours, the thriller Lola Lisa, and No Ordinary Love. No Ordinary Love centers on two women experiencing betrayal and manipulation by their husbands. Eventually, they begin plotting to find a way out. Chyna has been recognized during SXSW as a "Female Filmmaker to Watch" and featured at the American Black Film Festival. She is committed to telling compelling stories with women in key roles in front of and behind the camera.  
 
Tracy Rector never dreamed of being a filmmaker but found herself called to be the executive producer of No Ordinary Love. Her passion as a survivor and her desire to reach out to other victims was the force behind the project. While serving on the SafeHaven of Tarrant County Board, Tracy learned from their annual Fatality Review that greater domestic abuse awareness is needed. As a survivor, her favorite hashtag is #StartByBelieving. These words resonate with her experience of being married to a well-known, beloved minister who few believed could be abusive.
