Tabz Palmer talks about his first steps into becoming an actor, a brand ambassador, and someone who takes chances to go the distance with their dreams in spite of any obstacles – and for Tabz, he believes the only real obstacle is yourself.

From starting out as a “Haunt Actor” to now working on multiple projects across film, print, television, and theatre, Tabz is not afraid to discuss his perspective as a trans black man living and working in Connecticut, where, overall, he feels very supported by his community.

Whether you’re seventeen or seventy, this is a can’t-miss episode for anyone in search of new creative beginnings.

From magazine and album covers to film and television soundtracks, Jodylynn has a talent for bringing together a lot of moving parts and then sculpting these pieces into a cohesive whole; and while “less is more”, I think you’ll find that there is indeed so much more to learn about this unique Connecticut creative’s perspective, as we talk about her graphic design, listen to some of her music, and laugh about the challenges artists still face today as they pursue their craft.

In this episode, we talk about Jon’s lived experience as creator of color in Connecticut, why he transitioned from acting to directing, and how he came up with the idea for his latest film “Midnight”, a psychological horror film about performance, inheritance, and the quiet violence of assimilation. With this story, he’s asking each and every one of us: what parts of ourselves were we taught to shrink? Who built the stage? And what does it cost to step away?

In this episode, my Partner in Crime (and co-producer) Tom Sorensen talks with me about why we decided to move from Los Angeles, California all the way to Middletown, Connecticut, what inspired me to start this podcast series, and how I keep myself motivated as a multi-hyphenate creator to keep going in the face of (perceived) defeat.

From film and television to the stage and the page, I’m looking forward to highlighting Connecticut’s rich variety of talent. Because, We’re Here, Dammit!
