Thank you so much for all who showed up to my first YOUTUBE LIVE. Before making the move to ATL I was terrified on how I would make money, as I had established myself as a working actor in LA. Life changes and the looming Pandemic made me rethink what I wanted for my career and family. Here is a recount of my first year as an actor in ATL having no "connections"-a video I was searching for before I moved here. Hope this helps other actors who have been on the fence on whether or not they would like to make the plunge.
