WGA Strike Captain Breaks Down What's At Stake

Happy Friday, AOP Fam!

As we head into the weekend, I'd be remiss if I didn't point out the palpable fear and anxiety in the air in Hollywood. Between the massive layoffs impacting colleagues and the highly probable WGA strike, let's just the say the vibez are...low. Do you feel it too? How are you navigating this time? Let a sista know becauseeee.. I'm choosing to stay optimistic and focus on abundance as much as I can, but it's def been a rollercoaster. 

With this in mind, I invited WGA strike captain Victor M. Duenas to stop by the show and break down what is being negotiated, why now, and what is at stake for writers. #solidarity Thanks for continuing to do this life thing with me!

(Im)migrants of the State

If you are local to LA and want to be reminded of the power of theater and story to humanize and unite us, then I HIGHLY encourage you to catch a performance of (Im)migrants of the State, over at The Actor's Gang. The show is written and performed by artists whose lives were impacted by incarceration.  It's one of the most moving and inspiring pieces of art I've seen in a long time.  Closes on May 13th.
