Talk about the power of network. Katie knows Kate from DC. Kate - now in Kiev - knows Kelsey from LA. Kelsey in LA is from Atlanta. WE ARE IN ATLANTA. What is this world?
Meet Kelsey Scott; or, maybe just get to know her better. Kelsey is two-time Emmy nominated actress, writer, teacher, speaker and philanthropist.
In our 40-minute sit down we talk about the sacrifice required to pursue one's dreams; not just as an actor in LA, but for anyone bold enough to walk in their purpose. In a world that, as she says - has a short attention span and memory - the idea of "arriving" really isn't a thing. Whether you're fighting to break in, or fighting to stay relevant, it's all work - just a different kind.
Kelsey talks candidly, demystifying the two-dimensional glamour that is often synonymous with Hollywood. She says when she is at her best she is Deloris Scott's daughter. We talk about the lasting, daily impact her mom has on her life. My favorite line, "My mom said I could be whatever I wanted to be - and I believed her." That belief in herself, and in her mom, is why Kelsey has had an enduring career spanning decades as a working actor in television, film and theater.
Kelsey lives in a world of vulnerability that most of us only visit from time to time. This conversation is a peak into that world, and her wisdom on the power of staying there.
Enjoy,
