- Dive into a narrative journey with Asia Nichols, an extraordinary storyteller who defies conventional genre labels, on this week's episode of Sista Brunch. Asia takes us along on her 13-year global adventure from the blue city of Jodhpur to a farm in central Mexico, all while sustaining a creative life out of a backpack. She shares the evolution from social work to unconventional screenwriting, depicting her unique experiences and Black womanhood in her compelling stories.
Asia's approach to storytelling weaves the uncanny with the familiar, creating tales that resonate with her identity and the global Black experience. With an SF Film Rainin Grant and Blackstar Film Festival win under her belt, Asia's work is both celebrated and inspiring. We'll explore one of her most captivating narratives, 'So Unfair,' which flips the classic tale of Rapunzel to reflect her own journey toward natural hair acceptance.
Join us as we learn how Asia turned a one-year travel plan into a lifestyle and career, inspiring others along the way. Now, she offers coaching to creatives seeking to balance their passion for storytelling with a nomadic lifestyle. Her story is one of resilience, creativity, and constant reinvention, demonstrating that with the right mindset, the world is truly your oyster.
