From Stage to Screen With Yasmine

Hey everyone!

Hope you all had a wonderful holiday weekend. It was much needed! Feeling so well rested :) So, today, we jump into convo with actress Yasmine Sahid about how she has turned adversity into opportunity during SAG Strike. When traditional acting auditions hit a rough patch, Yasmine didn't just wait for doors to open; she decided to build her own.

She had some great gems to share:

• People sometimes misconstrue the time and effort it actually takes to make content.
• Short form content is the fastest way to grow. Long form is where you can make the connection with your audience.
• Avoid lumping everyone into the same bucket. Everyone is unique and different.
• If you have an idea, start writing and go for it!

What’s Coming?

I started a Mailchimp newsletter for Real Gems not too long ago and it's been steadily growing! So, as a way to show my appreciation back I'm going to select one supporter to get a free 30 min 1-on-1 with me.

For LinkedIn folks, comment on this post to enter.

I will message the selected individual on Wednesday to schedule!

Also, I'll be at the Game Awards! Make sure you say hello if you are going too. Or you can say hello to me at the GamesBeat event where I'll be speaking about AI's impact on gaming.

Hope you all had a great week!
