Whether you're an artist, a creative, or just someone looking for a bit of inspiration, this episode is packed with real talk and motivational vibes. I am thrilled to have the incredibly talented Alexis Tidwell Bailey on the show. Alexis took a pretty unique path into the theater world, jumping into acting with zero preconceived notions or baggage from traditional training. Her journey underscores the importance of diverse pathways into the arts. As an aspiring choir teacher who was encouraged by her then boyfriend, now husband, and theater mentors, Alexis took bold steps, moving to New York and taking risks to chase her new found dreams.
We'll dive into Alexis's experiences, discussing the importance of representation, the power of self-discovery, and the significance of staying open to possibilities. Alexis shares her insights on learning through self-teaching, tackling societal pressures, and the value of flexibility while pursuing one's dreams. Join us as we explore how listening to your heart and not being limited by fear can lead to remarkable pivots in your artistic journey, which without Alexis won’t be the star of the children’s show Mimi’s Costume Closet today.
Alexis Tidwell is a New York based entertainer from Memphis, TN who received her Master and Bachelor of Music degrees in Choral Music Education from the University of Tennessee. Some of her favorite credits include Little Eva in Beautiful: The Carole King Musical First National Tour, Joanne in RENT, Deloris Van Cartier in Sister Act, Marvina in Shout Sister Shout! (Sister Rosetta Tharpe musical), Camae in The Mountaintop, Dorothy in The Wiz, Lorrell in Dreamgirls, and Charlotte in Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Cinderella. You can currently catch her on tv as Miss Mimi in Miss Mimi’s Costume Closet, streaming now on Peacock Kids.
