This pilot felt like a good time to reflect on my journey of self-discovery and growth following a very trying 2023. I explore the importance of personal perception and the challenges of authenticity in a world that demands conformity. I talk about the pay inequality in Hollywood and the shifting landscape of Black representation in the entertainment industry. Plus trigger warning, I discuss the personal experience of trauma and the importance of gratitude and healing. PLUS: How I am standing on business when I say we need to emphasize the need for community and how it fuels your evolution. Plus, my three recommendations to warm the soul.

3 Recs To Go!
- You need to get inside your cosmic situation - check out Grupo Venus, I love this site, I use it a lot and it’s come in handy for 2024
- If you love Richard Simmons as much as I do, he’s not coming back! But Pauly Shore made a poignant and delightful short portraying Richard and it made me cry.
- My appearance on Stephen King Screen Drafts is coming and I’ll be joining the crew next month! In the meantime, check out the movie 1408 starring John Cusack and Samuel L. Jackson. It to me is the quintessential SK story, and it’s a ride. Available on a ton of streamers.
