In the Digital Age, there is very little we can’t find, learn, or create with just the click of a button. Yet, very many of us still suffer from the fear that our dreams are limited to what the opportunities that the gatekeepers give us. If you’re one of those people then this episode of Unbossed is definitely for you. Award-winning actress and filmmaker, Numa Perrier used every resource available to her, not waiting for Hollywood to ‘give’ her a chance. She made her own as the creator of Black & Sexy TV, the first Black web series production company on the Internet, before it was cool. With a tiny budget and the threat of eviction over her head. Now, she’s the producer, director, and star of her first indie feature based on her life. Not only has her film ‘Jezebel’ taken the film festival circuit by storm, it caught the eye of Ava DuVernay - producing/directing royalty, and Netflix! You have got to hear her story. Her story is a blueprint for making your own way in the world. And a testament to the fact that when you do what you love, the funding will come.
