Jo-anne Lee: Actor, Producer, Writer, Martial Artist, Pilates Instructor

What this episode covers

Jo-anne’s episode is out now and we’re so excited to share it with you! We loved hearing about her transition from dancing to acting, and how her dance background and understanding of the body as a Pilates instructor informs her artistry as an actor. It was so empowering to hear how she wrote, produced, and starred in a short film A Significant Problem, which is making its festival debut in the Florida Film Festival this April! We also discussed the importance of making your own work and casting yourself in roles you want to play, not waiting for others to provide those opportunities, or settling for roles that feel like tropes or stereotypes. Jo-anne is multi-talented, hard-working, and an all around compassionate human being, and we know you’ll be inspired listening to her stories and insights!
