In this episode I had the profound pleasure of sitting down with my beloved friend, Ayanna Anene—a supremely gifted filmmaker, producer, writer, and published author whose dedication and talent deeply inspire me. Our conversation journeyed through the immense role faith plays in our professional and creative lives, particularly in the challenging sphere of Hollywood.

Ayanna shares her personal experiences and insights on navigating the entertainment industry as in the ancient paths spoken of in Jeremiah 6:16. Firmly rooted in her faith and lavishly highlighing the importance of creative obedience, co-creating with the divine, and the cultivation of a practice for our unique giftings, Ayana lights a fire in us. We delved into the nuances of integrity, the power of saying 'no,' and the necessity for Christians in creative fields to engage with their callings boldly and with full agency.

Her recently published, Be Your Own Hero Journals, consists of practical and inspiring resources for developing your sacred practices in writing, networking, filmmaking, and igniting your purpose, which takes us from consumer to creators!

You can check out all her journals, available on Amazon now, as well as all her other creative services and projects at ayannaanene.com and you can follow her on Instagram @ayannaanene.
