Aalia is an International Multiple-Award Winning Novelist, Filmmaker, Impact Investor, Executive Producer and host of the award-nominated social good talk show, UNSUGARCOATED with Aalia. She is a survivor of multiple traumas which she has alchemized into empowerment by sharing her raw, unvarnished experiences and enabling others to do so as well.
Aalia's incredible, and at times heart-wrenching, journey inspired her to create such a powerful event bringing together leaders and storytellers to share their secrets on converting adversity into success.
She believes that artists are pioneers of the human mind with great potential and responsibility to positively influence society through proper representation and accountability.
In this episode, we discuss:
- not fitting in and being homeless at 14
- being so shy and afraid of conflict that it landed her in jail
- how her battles with cancer helped her understand the power of community
- translating traumas into purposeful novels, documentaries, and conferences
- her journey through the music industry, movie industry and into production
- her experience with personal development inspired her to curate her own events that tackle the realities faced in society today
- creating a movement of empowerment by giving light to attendees who then take it out into the world and share with others
- being an entrepreneur in your 20s vs in your 40s and beyond
