💸 When to invest in a big festival like this to ensure it catapults the rest of your career (plus allllll the things she's learned from being on the festival circuit!)

🤔 Chelsea was named ‘Most Powerful Voice’ by Blackbird Film Festival and recently won Best Pilot for the series Legit Married at Dances with Films. 🙌
