    The Color Purple’s Tiffany Elle Burgess: Letting Go of Perfectionism

    The Color Purple’s Tiffany Elle Burgess: Letting Go of Perfectionism

    You’ve seen her in The Color Purple and The Wonder Years! Tiffany Elle Burgess graces the podcast and discusses black triumph, trusting the process, & the art of letting perfection go. Tiffany is impressive!!! By day, she is a public health professional; by night, she is a working actress, producer, and author. I am SO proud of Tiffany and honored to have her as a guest.

     

    (This episode was recorded back in 9/2022. Yes, it has taken me this long to post the episode. Please forgive me ya’ll! Life has been life-ing!)

    Headshots

    First episode of 2022! WHOOT WHOOT! After finishing my own updated headshots, I decided to cover them in this episode. Remember: showing specific characters that are believable with who you are today is the cheat code!
