Episode 23 | Hustle & Healing with Mykel Shannon Jenkins
Description
In this episode, we’re joined by the multi-talented force that is Mykel Shannon Jenkins — actor, writer, producer, and living proof that where you start doesn’t define where you’re headed. From the streets of Buloxi to the sound stages of Hollywood, Mykel opens up about his journey out of rough neighborhoods, the resilience it took to keep going, and the lessons he learned on the road to success...accrediting much of his success to his late mother.
We dive into how he navigated the move to California, broke into the entertainment industry, and what it means to take ownership of your own story — on screen and off. We also talk about his powerful independent film, The Gods, which you can now stream for free on Mometu.
If you’re looking for real talk, real grit, and real inspiration from someone who’s lived it — this one’s for you.
