Heidi Hill | Casting Director & Producer, CSA

Maya Angelou’s quote “Do the best you can until you know better. Then, when you know better, do better” has been a guiding force throughout both my professional and personal life for as long as I can remember. Having been in the casting field for over a decade a key thing for me has been to always be in a state of learning. Whether it be from a time I totally miscalculated or a time when I nailed it – the question has ultimately been…what did I learn and how can I apply this for a better outcome? Read more>>

Angel Williams | Physical Therapist: PT, DPT, OCS, FAAMOPT, Certified Vestibular Rehabilitation Specialist (VRS)

My favorite quote is: My vision is stronger than my struggle. In 2017, I suffered from a traumatic brain injury that changed my life. At the time I was married with 3 children and working as a physical therapist for 8.5 years. I personally experienced not being able to care for myself or my family for the first time. I wasn’t able to work for over a year as I focused on getting well. When I joined my current company, I wasn’t fully recovered, however was determined to get back to work as a physical therapist. I had another goal to obtain my Orthopedic clinical specialist certification and start an Orthopedic fellowship; where I could gain knowledge to provide the best care possible to my patients.

Isaiah Barton | Garden Coach & Herbalist

One of my favorite quotes of all time, goes something like this…”Before Culture, there was Agriculture”. As a young, “black” gardener, grower, and steward of the land, this quote is very profound and very significant to me. Read the quote again so it marinates. I love this quote so much because of the emphasis that it puts on growers everywhere across the world. Specifically, farmers. The people that grow the food that eventually ends up on our forks and spoons at home. Read more>>
