The pop culture references are flying in this conversation with Sonya Ballantyne. From growing up on a reservation, desperately wanting better representation in the media she loved, to writing for a Walking Dead video game and creating pro wrestling-based films that marry her personal life with her undying love for the squared circle...Sonya's story is wonderful and winding.
Touching on themes of the importance of representation, creating the stories you're not seeing in the world, hope, and endurance in the face of self-doubt and adversity...we also dig into everything from Star Wars to Property Brothers.
Sonya sees inspiration everywhere. It's exciting to hear about her knack for turning it into something unique and personal.
