"Sometimes I'm just so happy with getting anything, that I don't realize there is more. Learning the art of saying 'no, pause,' has been so monumental in my career." - Vanessa Baden Kelly
In this episode, Corey and Sharma talk with actress, writer, author, and producer, Vanessa Baden Kelly. Vanessa is an Emmy-winning actress (Giants) and an Emmy-nominated screenwriter. She began her career as a child, starring on Nickelodeon's Gullah Gullah Island and Kenan and Kel. Vanessa is also the author of the newly released book, Far Away From Close To Home (2021). During this conversation, Vanessa shares some of her favorite personal stories and lessons learned on her journey to believing that she deserves to be here. And whether "here" was her first writer's room when she moved to LA, or humbly asking for help when she didn't understand something, or passing up a seemingly amazing deal to wait for an even better deal, she has something to teach all of us about deserving to be in the room, at the table, and respected for our worth. Trust us, you do not want to miss this conversation!
