and she's a creative coach helping folks to live their best
creative lives. In this episode, Tia talks about her experience
advocating for herself during an important career milestone at
BMI, how her own experiences as an actor on the road helped
create BOLD, an organization with a mission to build up Black

creating a more just and equitable playing field. Tia is an
absolute joy and a passionate teacher. This episode is for anyone
