We had the good fortune of connecting with Analiese Danielle and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Analiese, how do you think about risk?
Taking risks is always scary, but staying the same is scarier. I am big on self growth and self discovery, and that is sometimes a risk in itself, but so worth it. As an actor, risk is inevitable, whether it’s the risk of getting rejected for a role or the risk of being vulnerable as a person to truthfully tell someone else’s story. Acting is grounded in truth, and some roles require heavy emotional turmoil, and it’s always a risk to have to go there emotionally. The way I see it though, by portraying vulnerability and raw emotions, I can hopefully give a voice to someone who wasn’t able to speak for themself, I can spread awareness, and I can move people to feel things and view life differently, and that is the biggest gift to me.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
Today I am in a place that a few years back I dreamed of and prayed for. It took a lot of work emotionally, mentally. But I am here, I am doing it. Don’t let anyone put you in a box, not your family, friends, co-workers, or anyone online. Stand firm on your dream and chase after it, prove them wrong.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
I love ATL for its food and creatives. Some of my favorite spots to take people are Ponce, walking the Beltline, Factors, and going to Dads Garage Improv.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I wouldn’t be here today if it weren’t for Jesus. He is my Savior, my Redeemer, and my friend. He gives me strength and hope. Everything good in me is because of Him.
