Shownotes

This episode is everything about feminine energy and self empowerment coming from two of the strongest yet kindest women I have ever had the pleasure of meeting.

Culture is everything when it comes to influencing our decisions and choices in life. But do they work in our favor, or against who we authentically are?

Alysha Wright, Producer of ‘The Burden of Nine Lives, and Ashley Rose Nicholas, Lead Actress in the movie, dive deep into their upbringing that lead to their AHA moments of authenticity. 

Alysha cites her Belizean and Jamaican heritage for sharpening her skills to question why things are done. The perfect life skills of a film producer. 

Ashley remembers how her parents, Caribbean and Black American, helped her find her voice amongst the dominantly white neighborhood by introducing her to theater. 

And just like the movie, this episode comes to you Probably as you think you would typically hear actresses and producers talking about movies but The twist continues throughout this episode just like the movie Where by the end you are leaning in Hanging on every word that these two women talk about because they are lighting you up They are fueling your fire.

They are getting you ready To take back your life And by the end of the episode, you will be cheering. You will be clapping. You will be leaning in. Yes, sister.
