Accepting the Steady Hustle to Success with Ashlei Shyne
b'
In this week\\u2019s episode, I\\u2019m so excited to introduce you to Ashlei Shyne, an LA-based comedy writer, actress, filmmaker and activist. She is best-known for playing Josephine Baker in the new sketch comedy tv series \\u201cThe Book of Queer" now streaming on Discovery+.
\\nShe created, wrote and directed the web series \\u201c#TMI\\u201d and also created, wrote and directed a short film called Sia. As a writer, Ashlei is passionate about writing character-driven comedies centered around love, Black women and the LGBTQIA+ community.
\\nIn this episode we talk about how Ashlei surrounds herself with people who make her level up, the real struggles about living in LA and some advice for people who want to move there, how she writes characters who are based off of her life, but are still authentic in their own right, and she looks back to her younger self and gives her some advice and encouragement for her journey.
