I took my podcast to the entertainment capital of the world. I took my podcast to Los Angeles "L.A." I want that to sit for a minute and soak in. My podcast has no MAJOR sponsors yet, it's independent; it's self produced, black owned and its the number one podcast in the city of Houston! I took it to L.A. and I linked up with FOUR AFRICAN AMERICAN women who are nothing short of amazing. This episode is the fourth podcast of the four that I will drop from my L.A. run! Circa 2014, I had completed my first independent. I had done the stage play four times and when it came time to level up a young women auditioned and got the lead role. Her name is Ruby Lee Dove II. I remember telling her its your time and that she's in that position for a reason! She went on to get an agent and move to LA. She sites that the move to LA was due to the fact of stagnation! She sites that you have to come to LA as an actor and not an aspiring actor! If you cant get the role create it (24:30). We talk about her 1944 project (26:11) under her production company Life After Life. The project was about the wrongful death of an African American kid named George Stinney Jr. by electric chair (27:10) in 1944! She talks about the time spent writing 1944, the amount of drafts written for 1944 and finally the perception of 1944 when it premiered! We look at the very first project she booked when she moved to LA and Ruby gives a bit of advice to young women of color who may follow her foot steps! This is the last episode from my LA run. The knowledge and conversations i had with these four African American women is indescribable. All I can say is thank you for your time! Again I am so appreciative of Ajia and the extended arm she gave me with the previous three podcasts. This episode is also dedicated to my son! I love you John Ross Dike II bka Baby D rest in paradise/Heaven! Sit back, relax and enjoy Episode 31 of the Whats Next!? Podcast a production of Still Visionary, Inc.
