Valeka: Right? Through education! Girl, I'm telling you God told me that that is your gift. I'm telling you, through education, it's just been so awesome. I just want D.C. Actors to have that opportunity. D.C. Is talented! Plus I mean that is my hometown. You put on for your city. /laughs But, it's going to be a very intimate, very intimate, twenty-five actors, that's it. Rhavynn and I, we have this in common, it is about doing the work. It's not about, you go to these casting, girl I've been to somewhere there will be fifty to sixty actors. How is that supposed to work? You can't work. Because the whole point is the casting director sends you a script two days before. You actually work on the script. You come into the room, you present the script. You give feedback, you do it again. How are you going to do that with fifty actors in the room? You can't do that. That's somebody who is money hungry. You know what I'm saying?

Anzzia: True.

Valeka: My workshop, that Rhavynn and I are doing it's like, no. Twenty-five actors and we going to be in the for eight hours girl. We're going to get to town and do work. We have some great sponsors. We're going to feed the actors. We're going to do great gift bags. Great prizes. It's going to be really great. I want the actors to feel so safe and so supported. I want them to feel like they received something when they left. Because I know what that feels like to spend two hundred dollars on a workshop and you aren't even on a first name basis with the casting director. You know what I mean?

Anzzia: I can see how that would be frustrating.

Valeka: It's super frustrating! But Rhavynn is such, when I say she is the best, she is one of the best. She is a class act, knows her craft. But, she has a degree in theater. I'm telling you people in the theater honey. It's the difference, you just have a different je ne sais quoi about you when you are from the theater. It's just different and she is just great at what she does. I think she is really great and she's through. It's really going to be a great time in D.C. November 17th.

Anzzia: Do you have any final words for the readers and your fans?

Valeka: Figure out why the Hell you were meant to come here on Earth and do that. That's your only job. Figure that out. Everything else will fall into place. Everything else will fall into place. Always look at the glass half full not half empty. Your perspective is everything. It's everything. There's always something great to look at in a situation. Easier said than done. But it's a muscle and if you can find something great about each day, you know, it's a muscle and it will grow. Eventually, you can start living in the feeling of abundance before you had all of the money and the cars and the clothes, you know what I'm saying? That type of freedom, you can't put a price on that. The type of freedom that you have mentally when you are in that state of mind. Because you are already welcoming it to come.

Anzzia: That's beautiful. Thank you so much for interviewing with us.

Valeka: Thank you so much! I appreciate you. Your platform is so great!
