Such amazing words, a true testament 💫 #repost

Such amazing words, a true testament 💫
#repost from @itsmejillmarie 🎥🙌🏽

YEARS ago at the Beverly Hills Playhouse, acting studio (I was 25), my teacher (who would later become my mentor) asked me a profound question that I’ve held on to (now for) over 20 years. He had already ask me if my parents were preachers. Huh?!!! That was confusing at first …and btw, the answer was no. I didn’t understand why he was asking me that question after I had just showcased what I THOUGHT was a stellar performance. Then he asked me THE QUESTION. He asked me, “Who’s driving your car?”
My Ego answered REAL QUICK.
I said, “What do you mean? I’m driving my car.” He then asked, “Do you have a pet? Do you have a husband/boyfriend or significant other? Do you have an agent or manager or a publicist? Do you have family members that you take care of? Do you have friends, in the car, screaming …ARE WE THERE YET?! ARE WE THERE YET?! ARE WE THERE YET?!”
I was speechless.
I finally got it. I finally understood what he was trying to get me to understand. I realized that I was NOT driving my car! I was not flying free. I was holding back. My wings were clipped. At some point I had allowed my power to be taken and it was showing up in my ART (my work). That day was life changing.

If I’m being honest, I remained in the passenger seat (of my own car) for about a year and a half after that moment, to be completely 💯 …but it was the beginning of my journey. My work changed considerably. I stopped asking for permission. I began trusting myself more. I began making bold (acting) choices even if I was the only one that found it funny or interesting. I started carving out what ARTistry and LIVING a unapologetic LIFE meant for ME 🖤♠️🤘🏾

S/O to the INCREDIBLE @mrrichardlawson my Teacher/Mentor for #20yearsplus

Happy Tuesday Gorgeous Humans♥️
Now I ask you…
Who’s driving you car???
