Aysha Scott is the founder & CEO of A Scott Productions. She embarked on her journey into filmmaking after discovering a gap in the market for black female characters during her career as an actress. During a difficult time in her life, when she was left to raise her 10 week old son alone, she took the plunge to become an independent filmmaker. Pandemic has been a big reset for her- the film industry stopped overnight, film festivals went online, but Aysha put Dismissed, her anti-bullying film on You tube, and it went viral.Working creatively on message and issue based work finds its roots in her background in which she grew up as one of 6 children to a single mum, living in Deptford in what was called The Ghetto.  She was in a gang until she realised she could choose another path, and she took herself off to college.She set up a music and entertainment company Artistquik with a grant from The Prince's Trust and won young entrepreneur of the year award from the Black Women in Business Awards. Then she retrained as an actress, working in film, TV & theatre as well as recitals of hard-hitting message-based poetry.But time and again she found herself typecast in the same old roles. With a new baby and abandoned by the dad, she went back to college to do a creative writing degree and that's when she found her true voice. She founded A Scott Productions to explore social impact, exploring topics and themes such as domestic violence, gun crime, absent fathers, anti-bullying, child abuse; reflecting stories on the screen of people's experiences who are normally underrepresented, & opening the lid on issues often hidden away. She has many messages and stories to share with the world, and in any way that she can make a difference in the world, she will use the power of her words to do so. She believes in being your authentic self, doing what you love, and following your dreams no matter what hurdles you face.Thanks so much Aysha, for sharing the challenges you have faced, and how you have turned them round to create work that reflects social issues that need bringing into the light so that others can see that there is always hope.Also for showing us that even when your path is strewn with obstacles, with vision and determination, it is possible to change your circumstances and create a better way.  You can find out more about Aysha's work on www.ascottproductions.com and follow her on Linkedin @ayshascott Join Lou on Linkedin, or sign up to her mailing list for her newsletter and a free podcast guesting mini-guide.

Pursuing a career in the arts can be riddled with heartbreak, restarts, and tons of self-reflection. The ability to tenaciously pursue your creative path while navigating the specific challenges of being a woman of color can be even tougher. Luckily, there is a community of amazing Black actresses and performers committed to uplifting and facilitating space for their fellow sisters. Ashley Versher is an amazing film, tv, and stage actress who spent time with me chatting about the unique sisterhood of Black Actresses and why this is a moment to be even more committed to authenticity of self, experience, and expression through our craft. Speaking with Ashley was a bit like coming home. She's that rare mix of thoughtfulness, genuineness, and love of the industry. We discuss how to be a part of the change of the industry we love all while taking care of ourselves emotionally and mentally.
