My guest today is Alyscia Cunningham. Alyscia Cunningham is a multifaceted award-winning author, filmmaker, tactile artist, and photographer with contributions that have graced esteemed platforms such as the Smithsonian, National Geographic, Discovery Channel, and AOL. Her advocacy extends to ensuring her art is accessible for all to experience. At the heart of her artistic journey is a deep commitment to making a significant impact through her documentaries and horror films. She delves into pressing issues surrounding women’s beauty and health and creates narratives of resilience and triumph over adversity. Alyscia’s work is a testament to her passion for storytelling that enlightens, challenges, and inspires. Rooted in her identity as a first-generation Trinidadian American, Alyscia’s early fascination with storytelling was sparked by the tales of resilience, folklore, and life lessons shared by her Caribbean elders. These narratives of triumph over adversity and cultural heritage fuel her creative passion, driving her work in both documentary and narrative filmmaking.
As the founder of Her House Media, Alyscia champions the production of documentary and horror films written and directed by women of color. In parallel, she leads Uprising Builders, a Maryland-based home improvement company, showcasing her entrepreneurial spirit and commitment to excellence across different sectors. In this episode we discuss photography, art, creativity, self-love, diversity and beauty standards.

“We are creating every day. So whether you're creating, some people might be good in writing a letter that's creative. I'm not so good with that. Some people might be great with picking up a camera and being an amazing cinematographer."- 00:05:17
“One thing that I wish they would know is that they can do it. That's the biggest thing that I feel like I'm constantly telling women is you have the idea, don't wait for permission, just do it." 00:21:00
“Success for me is having a thought. I love, actually, I feel like this kind of gives me a rush too, but having a thought and then seeing it to fruition, that's success. ” 00:40:42
