Ep. 30: It Comes Back to Your Career


This week's episode talks about the current armchair analysis of Hollywood in certain forums that incorrectly see a wholesale AI takeover and is crowning winners of a future consolidate Hollywood without taking into account that the paying customers and audiences will be the judge of that. The 2002 journals detail an impending move, the stress of trade-offs in a career, leaving Hollywood in style, and why it's not so much leaving in style so much as it is leaving on your own terms and with your sanity intact. Let's talk...about Hollywood!

Ep. 29: "You're the Golden Child, It Doesn't Matter"


I'm back and offering prayers for love, peace and safety in our current global conflict. My first solo invite to a party in 2002 where I gained entree into Black Hollywood. This is part two of a two-parter and also touches on those early days in Hollywood, the vibes of trying to get on the radar of PR execs and the town. I throw Bebbles a party and, later, a bar brawl nearly ensues when an admirer gets too close.

Ep. 27 - Running Toward Him


Welcome! In this episode I talk about my first and only husband and a moment of missing each other that I see even more clearly now. It's been 20 years, yet he was so intrisic to my career and life that there are times, in dreams, where all I want to do to make sense of the world is...to go running toward him for that moment.
