S5 E47 - Kelly Marshall
Kelly Marshall is a New York based photographer specializing in interiors, travel and portraiture. Her commercial and fine art work are interwoven as she explores inherent belief systems; how they construct our lives, our physical homes and in essence, our everyday reality. She also is the director of an amazing feature length documentary Birthing of A Nation- an afro futuristic account of the the reproductive justice movement and the healing arts of Black women in America since 1619. Kelly is a true inspiration and I'm honored to know her and to tell her story.

S5 E44 - Chalkley Calderwood
Tune into our amazing chat with the super inspiring, Chalkley Calderwood. When Chalkley's career as art and creative director for publications that include Everyday with Rachael Ray, AllRecipes and Budget Travel started to slow down - she pivoted and went back to school to learn video! That then led her to start creating documentaries and video content for all sorts of people. One of her clients was our friends over at Space for Arts even. Now she has a full-time gig and has recently moved to Catskill, NY where our founder Traci Terrick has landed too. Shout out to our sponsor - Anchor Artists!
S2 E15 - Sonia Reynolds
Tune into my chat with Sonia Reynolds, she is a firecracker! A writer, filmmaker, coach and so much more whose motto of "JFDI" (just f-cking do it) makes perfect sense for this unprecedented time we are in. Her maturity and wisdom go well beyond her actual age and I found her to be such an inspiration to all women creatives, I hope you will agree!
