S6 Ep 11: It’s Still Better To Have Tried with Kaisha Huguley

The Artist Pivot

In this episode I sit down with the multifaceted Kaisha Huguley, actor, host, and digital creator. Kaisha opens up about her untraditional path into musical theater, her move to New York, and the impacts of the pandemic on her self-discovery journey. We dive into the joys and challenges of performing, the societal pressures faced by black women in the entertainment industry, and discover we both one day want to reach the "offer only" club and not have to audition for roles. We also explore the concept of feeling settled, the importance of alignment in career choices, and the impact of New York City on our growth as people. Kaisha shares her journey of pivoting from theater to becoming a successful digital creator on platforms like TikTok and Instagram, and provides valuable advice for artists on navigating the industry without losing sight of their values.
