I had the pleasure to meet Gabrielle Byndloss in class at Mornell Studios. We spoke for HOURS and her unapologetic sense of self tied with her incredible work ethic blew me away. I knew I had to get her on the podcast to share all of her knowledge with you. A multi-market actor, Gabrielle gets honest about being repped in Atlanta and Los Angeles, her experience as a woman of color in this industry, getting cast in Falcon and the Winter Soldier, finding her sense of self through lots of inner work and therapy, and her day-to-day life as a professional actor and yoga instructor/business owner.
