From Dreaming About Writing To Writing Her Dreams with Gigi M Green

Ep. 91
•

Even if we are not aware of the law of attraction and how it works, it is possible to manifest the things we want as long as we focus on our goals and we live with an unshakeable belief in ourselves. Whether we do it consciously or not, the result is the same. 


Today, joining me is the multi-faceted writer Gigi M. Green - TV writer and screenwriter, producer, and KIOME Entertainment owner. Her journey in the Entertainment industry started in Disney's Good Luck Charlie, where she went from production assistant to freelance writer of a produced episode. Gigi became the first black writer for the show. She has a Bachelor of Arts in Interdisciplinary Arts and Performance and a Masters in Law. Gigi is also the author of two published books, "Cleaning Her Closet: How I Gained Myself After Losing Mom" and "How To Get Your 1st Job in TV". 


We had a fantastic conversation about our capacity as human beings to pursue and achieve our dreams, her difficulties starting her career, and how her tenacity and talent took her to where she is today. She talked about her time living in her car and the problems she faced not getting a job but getting a job that she wanted. She also shared her vision on racism, diversity, their relationship with the entertainment industry, and how she imagines the future regarding these subjects. 


In the end, she gifted us with a piece of wise and inspiring advice to enhance our lives. Tune in and enjoy.


Some Questions I Ask:

  • What drove you into this career path? (2:56)
  • What was it that kept you afloat and in the direction of what it is that you really wanted to do? (9:18)
  • How do you think that being the youngest of 10 siblings affected your drive in life and your ability to go ahead and go after what it is that you want? (13:51)
  • What was for you coming up as a black person in Hollywood? (18:27)
  • Do you think that we could ever get to a place free of racism and inequality? (21:45) 
  • Could you share a bit of advice to give to any filmmakers out there? What would you say is your tip for helping people live enhanced and how they can improve their life? (36:24)


In This Episode, You Will Learn:

  • Working as a paralegal with an eye in the entertainment business (4:05)
  • Manifesting without knowing it (9:43)
  • Thinking about the goal without worrying about the how (14:37)
