Previous Episode: Stop getting discouraged playing the short game

Next Episode: Surrounding yourself with level uppers

In this week’s episode, I’m 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 “The Book of Queer" now streaming on Discovery+.

She created, wrote and directed the web series “#TMI” 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.

In 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.
