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.
