[Video Available on Spotify] In this episode, Imani sits down with her long lost “cousin” --- actor and author, Jay Ellis to discuss how imagination can unlock creative ambition, why we must resist the urge to rush through life, and what his ‘Insecure’ character Lawrence taught him about communicating his emotions. Jay also touches on self-sabotage and coming face-to-face with the fear of success.
