S4 Ep10: Producer and Author Ja'Lisa Marie Kizzie

The Voice Behind the Pen

WELCOME TO "THE VOICE BEHIND THE PEN PODCAST," I’M YOUR HOST AUTHOR AND SCREENWRITER SC DICKENS. TODAY, I HAVE THE PLEASURE OF SPEAKING TO THE TALENTED PRODUCER, SCREENWRITER, AND AUTHOR JA’LISA MARIE KIZZEE WHOSE JOURNEY TO SUCCESS IS AS INSPIRING AS HER WORK IS COMPELLING. JA’LISA SURVIVED A DEVASTATING FIRE THAT TESTED HER RESILIENCE AND SHAPED HER PATH FORWARD. DESPITE THIS EARLY ADVERSITY, SHE EMERGED WITH A STRONGER DETERMINATION TO PURSUE HER PASSION FOR STORYTELLING. JA’LISA'S FIRST BOOK THAT TOOK TEN YEARS TO COMPLETE, MARKED THE BEGINNING OF HER LITERARY JOURNEY. WE'LL HEAR ABOUT THE CHALLENGES AND TRIUMPHS SHE EXPERIENCED DURING THIS DECADE-LONG PROCESS AND WHAT IT FELT LIKE TO FINALLY BRING HER STORY TO THE WORLD. I ALSO EXPLORE HER CAPTIVATING TRILOGY AND ONE OF HER UNFORGETTABLE CHARACTER’S SANDRA. JA’LISA WILL SHARE INSIGHTS INTO HOW SHE DEVELOPED SANDRA'S CHARACTER AND WHAT MAKES THIS TRILOGY SO SPECIAL TO HER AND HER READERS. BUT JA’LISA'S TALENTS DON'T STOP AT WRITING BOOKS. HER JOURNEY INTO SCREENWRITING HAS OPENED NEW DOORS AND PROVIDED FRESH PERSPECTIVES ON STORYTELLING. SHE'LL DISCUSS HOW READING AND ANALYZING OTHER SCREENWRITERS' SCRIPTS HAS HONED HER CRAFT AND INFLUENCED HER APPROACH TO WRITING AND OF COURSE, I'LL GET A SNEAK PEEK INTO HER NEWEST PROJECT. SO, WITHOUT FURTHER ADO, LETS WELCOME MY GUEST, JA’LISA MARIE KIZZIE.
