Heart for Hollywood Krista Jamison

In this episode I had the profound pleasure of sitting down with my beloved friend, Ayanna Anene—a supremely gifted filmmaker, producer, writer, and published author whose dedication and talent deeply inspire me. Our conversation journeyed through the immense role faith plays in our professional and creative lives, particularly in the challenging sphere of Hollywood.

Ayanna shares her personal experiences and insights on navigating the entertainment industry as in the ancient paths spoken of in Jeremiah 6:16. Firmly rooted in her faith and lavishly highlighing the importance of creative obedience, co-creating with the divine, and the cultivation of a practice for our unique giftings, Ayana lights a fire in us. We delved into the nuances of integrity, the power of saying 'no,' and the necessity for Christians in creative fields to engage with their callings boldly and with full agency. 

Her recently published, Be Your Own Hero Journals, consists of practical and inspiring resources for developing your sacred practices in writing, networking, filmmaking, and igniting your purpose, which takes us from consumer to creators!

You can check out all her journals, available on Amazon now, as well as all her other creative services and projects at ayannaanene.com and you can follow her on Instagram @ayannaanene.

In this episode I had the incredible opportunity to sit down with Cindy Galley, a true beacon of inspiration and light, especially in the entertainment industry. Our conversation spanned from her heartfelt journey in Hollywood, her deep faith, and the vulnerable sharing of her personal transformation and redemption story. What stood out was her genuine love for Jesus and her mission to influence the media and ministry sectors positively.



We delved into her book, "Don't Be This Girl," which offers wisdom against settling into unhealthy patterns influenced by rom-coms and media portrayals of relationships. Cindy shared her insights on female empowerment, rooted in understanding and embracing one's identity in Christ, rather than the world's fleeting standards.



Our discussion also covers the importance of inner healing, particularly addressing the soul wounds that hinder our true identity and God-given potential. Cindy’s passion for mentoring the next generation was evident as she talked about her dedication to guiding young people toward finding their voice and place in the world, anchored in truth and love.



As Cindy prepares to move to Franklin, Tennessee, she carries a heart full of dreams and promises waiting to unfold. Her steadfast faith and openness to God's leading are truly infectious. It was an honor to witness and share her story, leaving me, and undoubtedly many others, inspired to pursue our callings with courage, authenticity, and a deep reliance on God's grace and timing.

In this emotionally charged episode, I share my personal testimony from darkness to light in the entertainment industry. Through my never-before-told journey of overcoming sexual abuse, propelling a life-altering move from New York to California, and my profound spiritual awakening that led me back to my divine calling within the arts. I discuss my struggles and triumphs in acting, the impact of my faith in Jesus, and the importance of genuine storytelling in media.

My prayer is that this message is one of hope, resilience, and the transformative power of vulnerability and honesty in creativity.

This episode is a call to creatives everywhere to pursue their dreams with integrity and faith, shining a light on the raw truth of Hollywood and beyond. But first and foremost to champion you to bravery in telling your own stories first.

If I can do it, SO CAN YOU!

In this conversation, I interview Karen Covell, the founder of the Hollywood Prayer Network in Los Angeles. Together we discuss her journey from pursuing a career as a producer in television to founding a prayer network, highlighting the challenges of bridging the gap between Hollywood and the church. Karen's approach to prayer, focusing on positivity and empathy is a crucial aspect of her mission, providing a beautiful community for those who have a heart for Hollywood.
