Your Caribbean parents likely didn't want you to become an actor. So, even if you felt the hunger in your belly and fire in your chest for the arts and acting, you may only have seen acting as a hobby.

This narrative is the reality for a lot of folks with artistic talent who are now in sensible careers as doctors and lawyers. This is changing, and educator Fabian M. Thomas is on the frontlines. He interacts with high school drama students, university arts majors, and adults seeking opportunities to hone their craft as actors.

As the creator of the Actors' Flex training program, he's facilitated workshops with film industry professionals like Gabrielle Blackwood, Kurt Wright, Noelle Kerr, Natalie Thompson, and more in Kingston Jamaica. He joins Rachel on this episode to talk about the Actors' Flex initiative and share his experience as an educator in the performing arts.
