This book is rich with stories of overcoming obstacles and achieving success. It's not just a recount of experiences from the author's earliest gigs as a production assistant but a practical roadmap filled with strategies for navigating the industry's volatility.

As a testament to the grit needed to navigate many challenges, her work as a casting assistant can be seen in the critically acclaimed biopic ""Rustin,"" featuring Oscar-nominated actor Coleman Domingo and executive produced by Michelle and Barack Obama in collaboration with Netflix.
