It’s a simple question. Why are you not investing in yourself?
As I grew in the film industry, getting more gigs, more collaborations, more credits, I started to realize I had no financial plan in place for myself. I started to shift my thinking around what am I doing for myself and what will be my financial state in the next ten years. I wanted to level up, start my own production company and build equity that I could leverage later in life. And of course, as an artist, I wanted to be intentional about all of these things. The last few years have been a journey and I can honestly say, it was a great decision to start thinking about myself. No matter where I go or what I do, I will always be a thoughtful advocate for positive change, I just need to include myself, my financial sustainability and my well being in that journey.
Every artist and creative needs to invest in themselves, period.
I want us to be financially secure while our creations continue to impact the world.
See you Saturday!

One thing I learned from teaching last week is that many artists simply need to change their mindset to invest in themselves. April is the month I am teaching this course for artists to secure the bag. Investing in yourself financially is just as important as investing in creative projects. I’m dropping so much knowledge in this course. The next course is TODAY, April 17th at 8:00pm. Be ready to take notes.
Register ASAP. Link in bio

This was a room filled with many experienced real estate investors and newbies who were ready to make the leap into investing. This was my first time speaking publicly about real estate investing as a filmmaker. I had no idea there were a few artists in the room. I received so many compliments for sharing my story as an artist. It always helps when you see and hear from someone who is actually doing something that you want to accomplish. My classes last weekend were everything. Several folks have already asked when the next course would be and it is here this Wednesday. Join me in taking the first step to investing in a financial sustainability plan for yourself. Link in bio #artist #creative # realestate #artistbag

Sharing knowledge is the ultimate gift!
I’ll start by sharing with you how excited I am to help other artists and creatives invest in themselves. I’ve been working in film & television for over 20 years now with a goal to create inspiring works that will positively impact the world. Through this exploratory journey of creating, I recognized there were a lot of underlining harm that many artists face while working in this industry. I trusted my spirit and often spoke up when many would not. I realized that I had a desire to help advocate for people without fear of what would happen to me. My activism allowed me to speak up for folks who were often marginalized due to their gender, ability or race.
The film industry can be as destructive as any other career field. As I navigate this industry as a Black woman, my instincts often lead me to stay grounded in my purpose, align myself with like minded individuals who challenge themselves to a higher purpose of understanding and to live a life that is compassionate to all people. As a creative, I often find myself giving my all to anything I touch and create. This was the case for many years until I had a mental shift.
As an artist, I know first hand how hard I would go to complete a project or help a collective group get to the finish line. After many years of this constant grind, I realized that I had no strong financial plan in place for myself. I decided to do the unthinkable and purchase a property in NYC. It was a harrowing task. It was hands down the hardest thing I ever did. I now own several investment properties as my financial sustainability plan as I continue to create impactful works along my film career journey. It’s not always easy and there are challenges but working in the entertainment industry can be extremely grueling and after years of various gigs we are broke and back to square one financially. At some point you have to ask yourself, what am I doing for me?
Simply said, I finally decided to invest in myself. Meet me this weekend. Links are in the bio. #artist #creative #realestate

I’ll be sharing a bit of my journey on how I invested in real estate as a filmmaker. I will be dropping gems and sharing knowledge that will help artists and creatives invest in real estate to stabilize their income. This is for artists and creatives who work in the entertainment industry, whether that be FIlm, Music, Television, or Theater. You can still invest in yourself while being creative.
