In April of this year I was announced to be one of the co-hosts of a new ABC daytime talk show called “The Revolution.” Unfortunately, I received word last week that I will not be a part of the panel. Of course, I was disappointed but I realize that this decision was out of my control. I believe in the concept and mission of this show and thought that it perfectly aligns with my passions. I realized this more so while shooting the pilot last year. I experienced 2 women become so empowered by the assistance that they got from Tim Gunn, Harley Pasternak, myself and others. This was proof enough that this show does have the potential to transform peoples’ lives. Not to mention the format is very innovative and ambitious. I wish the show all of the success that comes its way.
As a young woman in this industry, I was just elated the day that I was called into ABC for my first meeting! Are you joking? (This whole experience is more than I could have ever imagined). In continuing the process (with 3 Ball Productions) I demonstrated that I do have it in me to accomplish my goal of becoming a talk show host. They further acknowledged my potential when they announced me back in April. They believed in me and for that I am thankful and grateful. They gave me a great opportunity to practice and most importantly LEARN. Every experience, good or bad, is an opportunity for growth. As I tweeted the other day, “We can learn something from everybody.”
So I will leave you with this… I work in show “business”. This is a business first and foremost. I understand that at the end of the day there are a lot of decisions to be made about the show to ensure that the business is successful. Those decisions are not to be taken personally. I realize that this is part of the process and we all go through it.
I am a hard worker. Now I will take the same energy that I put into “The Revolution” and put into my next project(s).
One Love,
