As I sit across from my twin daughters Jackie and Jazmine , our conversation starts with a burst of laughter reminiscing about our family Jack Russell Terrier's  nutty capers. Today's episode takes you through the Harvel's treasure trove of memories, from sibling rivalry to creating cinematic magic together. Discover how these remarkable women channeled their childhood competitiveness into a creative force in the industry.

Navigating the twists and turns of life, Jackie and Jazmine share their individual journeys of transformation from athletes with a passion for the environment and fashion, to two determined young women to make their mark in the film industry. They peel back the curtain to reveal the making of their first film on a budget that would make a shoestring look lavish, and how pandemic challenges birthed a unique collaborative film project. Their narratives are a masterclass in chasing dreams, evolving passions, and the art of storytelling.

Wrapping up, we dive into the inception of Mama Lion Productions, where my daughters have forged a path for female-led narratives in cinema. They offer up sage advice for up-and-coming filmmakers, stressing the importance of seizing every opportunity, learning from the best, and crafting your own narrative, both on and off the screen. As we eagerly anticipate baby Salia's debut in the Harvel clan, we celebrate the communal spirit that's sustained our family's tale, inspiring listeners to pursue their dreams with humor and heart.
