Ep. 28 - The Hustle and the Hell


Welcome! In this episode I talk about my first party in 2002 where I gained entree into Black Hollywood. This is a two-parter and also touches on those early days in Hollywood, or a career, where the hustle feels like hell until your career kicks off - but it does get better, so hang in there! Sometimes it just takes one manifest to let you know you're on the right track.

I've launched a GoFundMe for this podcast and my Industry reset that will be up for a couple of weeks. I'm 35% toward my goal! If you're interested in supporting, or even sharing the link, please do so here:

Ep. 27 - Running Toward Him


Welcome! In this episode I talk about my first and only husband and a moment of missing each other that I see even more clearly now. It's been 20 years, yet he was so intrisic to my career and life that there are times, in dreams, where all I want to do to make sense of the world is...to go running toward him for that moment.

Ep. 26 - This Time I'm Getting In


Welcome back! In this episode I talk about being torn between wanting to make my new career as an editorial assistant at The Hollywood Reporter, balancing a 440-hour a month work schedule and the same class system I left as a stage actor that I'm starting to see is different, but also the same: it's nuts! Breakthroughs - yours and mine - are never too late.
