Broken and Whole At Once: Putting Together the Pieces Along My New Journey
My heavens Lord, it’s been quite the week!
I’m finding myself, now more than usual, to be halves, and wholes, and parts of various in-betweens.
There’s a few work-related blog posts I’d like to bring to you all, but I’m about to run out of my house to go have free sushi with an old co-worker from my Beverly Hills luxury retail days.
Let me organize my thoughts aloud to know what we’ll get into when I get back to this desk.
What does it look like to begin a career as an entertainment professional?
inspired by my close girlfriend from back home (Louisiana), Taylor, that asked me about my first week of work
What is the entertainment professionals’ workers’ union, SAG-AFTRA?
inspired by my own mind wondering if this group (with a 3-THOUSAND-DOLLAR initiation fee) that I hear people talking about all day, every day, on sets is worth it or a scam
How to join SAG-AFTRA?
it takes some people 5-10 years to be eligible to join SAG-AFTRA!
where am I along this entertainment career journey, only a week in?
Why I sat on the edge of my bed crying big crocodile tears Tuesday evening?
child, I hadn’t cried like that since my cousin, TaFoya, passed away at the tender age of 35 last year
Oh em gee, it’s 1pm and I’m already supposed to be at my girl’s place to head to her new job with her for an event where there’s going to be free sushi. My hair is a mess from the way it has been styled for the production I’ve been working on this past week, and I don’t even know what I’m about to throw on my body. Baby, let me go.
This is a personal blog, journal entries of my journey, if you will. So don’t let the wording of these questions/topics fool you, ain’t no straight textbook answers on the way… Folks can go to SAG-AFTRA’s website for that. My blog posts, answering these questions, will be from the perspective of the journey I’m on.. and hopefully, sharing will help the next girl on hers, whether it be for a career in entertainment or elsewhere!
Okay, pressing publish… I don’t think she expected me to be on time anyway.
