I was an subscriber to The Create Daily years ago and a fan of Screenwriter/Producer/Director Felicia Pride's work beginning with Really Love so it is an honor to have her on the podcast today. Her outlook on life as an artist is refreshing and in a season that, for me, is extremely challenging, her perspective comes right on time.

Here's what we're talking about in today's episode:

• How she reaffirmed her relationship with writing after a seven-year hiatus 


• How Felicia found creativity on her spiritual journey 


• What she learned from the project that took her 10 years to make (& the creatives capacity for commitment) 


• The origin of her production company, HONEY, CHILE and their mission for Black women 40+ (loved this!) 


• Why she decided to do produce and direct a proof-of-concept for her feature film, LOOK BACK AT IT 


• How she’s creating new energy in her life right now


• Why “care” is a huge piece of the creative process 


• The business case for Black women and why our community is so important


• The biggest piece that changed for her when she turned 40 and how that influenced her decision making


• The difference between being driven by purpose vs being driven by inflated ego


• Where she found her happy place within this industry and her relationship with expectations 


• The two things that have contributed most to her spiritual and creative journeys 


• Why she likes to explore Black love, coming home to ourselves and class in her art
