The advice that I give women is that it’s never too late to follow your dreams. It doesn’t matter if you’re married, you have kids, or whatever follow your damn dreams. Life is too short! I was 34 and I realized I didn’t want to wake up at 50 years old, working at my corporate job and… Read More @kyraknox_: What advice do you have for other women in the industry?

A successful moment in my career so far was winning two Silver Telly Awards (Online – Social Impact and Online – Documentary Series Category) with Tweed Video, a production company I freelance for. We produced multiple series for Verizon Media/In The Know and they trusted me with not only producing the series but also casting all… Read More @kyraknox_: What is a successful moment in your career so far?

My biggest concern is not being hired. I’ve been extremely vocal about black people’s rights lately and honestly, I’m scared that I’ll get blackballed in the industry before I even REALLY get into the industry! It’s only been two years of me being a producer and I’ve accomplished many things in a short time. I… Read More @kyraknox_: What is your biggest concern with the future?

A defining moment in my life was when I proved all the naysayers wrong. When I quit my corporate job to pursue my dreams. I was 34 years old. I received a lot of backlash because of my age and also because I don’t have children. It was a lot of ‘You should be having children now”, ‘You’re too old”,… Read More @kyraknox_: What’s a defining moment in your life?

I started working in the industry as an actor while also working a corporate job during the week. One day an associate of mine asked me to help produce his project. I realized that not only was I good at it, I loved it! It was more fulfilling for me to be a part of the process from pre-production to post… Read More @kyraknox_: Why did you decide to get into this industry?

I just finished writing a feature, so I’d like to start making plans about making it.  I’m looking for a writing / creative partner.   I have a blog on my website that I update semi regularly about what I’m doing creatively. I feel more comfortable pouring my thoughts out there than I do Instagram,… Read More @azure_rue: What are you working on next?

If I collect anything, it’s stories. As a kid I would see people on the street and create stories about their lives. I screenshot stills from television shows and movies, which is another collection. I collect ideas, good and bad.  I also collect tonics and superfoods for my apothecary. (Photo by Arianne Edmonds)  

To embrace both the masculine and feminine parts of yourself. I am very masculine and very feminine. I have big ideas and big opinions and strong emotions that I show. Women are so complex and so beautiful. Our divine femininity is a strength, not a weakness. It is our superpower. (Screenshot from film Run, Brother with… Read More @azure_rue: What advice do you have for other women in the industry?

Working in a writer’s room. I had imagined what a writer’s room was like in my head. Very intimidating. And I’m sure it can be that way. But when I got there, it was just an office building in Hollywood with a big table and a bunch of snacks and people throwing out ideas. I… Read More @azure_rue: What is a successful moment in your career so far?

That girls who look like me won’t believe their dreams are possible. When I was growing up, I don’t remember ever seeing directors who looked like me. It’s not that there aren’t women of color filmmakers and directors in the world. There are many. Beautiful, dynamic, talented artists. It’s just about opportunity. Hollywood is starting… Read More @azure_rue: What is your biggest concern with the future?
