Where would we be without the unpredictability of the acting world? Tiwana Floyd shares her personal insights on the recent SAG After Strike resolution. It's been a whirlwind of emotions, transitioning back to 'normal, with a new commercial booking, after a 13-month dry spell!

The adventures don't stop there. Tiwana leaps into the world of auditions, agents, and on-set dynamics, the challenging process of commercial shooting and the significance of knowing the director you're working with. I'll also share my thoughts on the pandemic's impact, introducing an unexpected opportunity for actors to create their own content.

You know those friendships that you just can't live without, the ones you cherish as a respite from the chaos of Hollywood? My best friend Estie and I had one of those. But after Estie’s recent move to Oregon, I've been forced to confront the harsh realities of Hollywood friendships.

From the toxic to the genuinely beautiful, I'll take you on a deep exploration of the friendships I've come to appreciate in my time as an actor. I'll also share how wise one veteran actor Kevin E West helped me redefine my understanding of friendship in the industry, and the valuable lessons I learned about recognizing a fair-weather friend.

Navigating Hollywood isn't always a walk in the park, especially with social climbers lurking in every corner. It's like trying to balance on a tightrope – maintaining an open heart, yet being cautious enough not to fall prey. In this tricky balance, I've gleaned some insights about the underlying societal pressures, cultural norms, and personal goals that drive this social climbing phenomenon.

More importantly, I’ve learned to prioritize putting myself first. I invite you to join me as we embark on a journey of self-care, empowering not just ourselves, but each other, in the unforgiving world of Hollywood.

Networking is the key to acting success. But what if it terrifies you? Listen to how I learned to redefine networking into community building by joining a mastermind group, training at The Second City and connecting with a rich range of Hollywood Individuals.

Also, take a trip down memory lane to my days as a hip-hop dancer in the 90s where my shyness inhibited me from growing my dance career after performing in LL Cool J's "Around The Way Girl" music video.
