Reputation and Relationships: Keys for Black Women Entrepreneurs with Eboni Price

Depending on others is an important part of life, personal and professional. The problem is that many people have a one-sided point-of-view. They network to see what you can do for them, instead of building a mutually beneficial relationship. And, that is just one key that we talk about in this episode of Bet On Yourself, Sis!, so I hope you caught it! Today I sit down with director, writer, and producer, Eboni Price.  In this conversation, Eboni shares her journey in the entertainment industry, and how she balances it all. She emphasizes the importance of networking, discipline, and professionalism, and she provides valuable guidance for aspiring creatives navigating the industry. She discusses her experiences in both independent and studio filmmaking, the challenges of the starving artist mindset, and the necessity of setting boundaries to avoid burnout. Eboni and I explore the challenges and joys of creativity, the significance of mental health, and the need to harmonize work with self-care. Eboni also highlights her work and the creation of the film 'Hard', highlighting the importance of storytelling and representation in media.
