The Ava Davis Show

Alright, y'all. Buckle up! Today was a very newsworthy day, aside from the #topthreethings. Today is Giving Tuesday, today is also World AIDS Day, and today is the day I found out the screenplay for The Waltz Film (www.thewaltzfilm) was selected to participate for the Rome Prisma Film Award !!! And, my dear dear dear friend, actress and model Runway Diva Say comes on for a 4 part interview, and we...

Alright, y'all! Today's episode is long. 45 minutes. But also, I haven't talked to you all in a week, and a lot happened last week plus I finish up the interview with @jasontheperformer ! So, the top three news things,  a quick recap of my thanksgiving week, and then closing out a conversation on race and gender with Jason Gonsalves. I don't think we argue about @beyonce once! Yay!  ----...

Alright, y'all. Happy Monday, and all that jazz. I have on, still as guest, Jason Gonsalves, and we talk about our dear love for Beyonce, Mornell Studios, acting, and sexuality and gender. But first, I get on the soapbox for a second about giving thanks, and our social safety nets in America. ----------------------- The Ava Davis Show – a video blog that deigns to call itself a talk-show about ent...

Alright, y'all. Today is the 20th of November, and today is also the Transgender / Non-Binary Day of Remembrance. This year has been especially violent for trans and non-binary people, especially trans and non binary people of color. 2020 marks the most deadliest year on record since @humanrightscampaign started keeping track in 2013. For more information, please visit their website and read their...

Alright, y'all! Today I have on dear friend and guest, Jason Gonsalves, as we talk about acting, writing, and then we devolve into a discussion about music, Taylor Swift, Cornelia (not Cornelius) Street, crinkley hair, and Beyonce in her early days! ----------------------- The Ava Davis Show - a talk-show about self-care, culture, topics of the day and more.

Alright, y'all! Today is Friday the 13th, and the day after the day that shall not be named. So, I wax poetically about previous days that shall not be named, and how sublime yesterday was. And then, because I've figured out things, I bring you part two of my interview with Chase Wolf (@chasethewolfe on IG) , as we actually talk about Proud Mary Theatre's (@proudmarytheatre) production of The Lara...

Alright y’all. Since the day is almost over, by all means, and measures, I can announce that today was my #birthday. And I’m feeling guilty because I rearranged a lot of things to tape this #interview yesterday, but the opportunity presented itself. So, this is my interview with @chasethewolfe; we worked together on @proudmarytheatre ’s The Laramie Project, and he is an oh so talented actor and si...

Alright, y'all. Today is Veteran's Day. I hope you've acknowledged them, at the very least. The scars of service can still linger on. In addition, I hope you're keeping abreast of the politcal climate in Washington! And, finally, let's talk about acting for a minute. Specifically, acting with Shakespeare. Yesterday I had a wonderful opportunity to play with the text of King John, and it left me sh...

Alright , y’all. I’m scattered today, but mainly because I’ve been reading #shakespeare. More in due time, but … these next few weeks are gonna be rough. So, I’m focusing on what I can, and that includes progressing my projects and taking comfort in cohorts! ----------------------- Watch the latest episodes at  www.theavadavishow.com and sign up for our newsletter!

Alright, y'all. We still need to wrap up the interviews with Ngozi; and I think I'll upload those to the website soon so you can listen to them in full. But today, let's talk about this weekend. 3 stories the AP News (Pfizer Corona Virus vaccine, HIV 2 month shot, and President-Elect Biden), along with a #soapbox moment as I now go into #hangover mode. Some of us can breathe. We've been in surviva...

Alright, y'all. Ngozi and I continue this conversation about the election and politics, and she drops some knowledge on me about Anchor.fm (who I just signed with to host the podcast version of this show!) You can follow along at : anchor.fm/theavadavisshow , and I'll share the links as they get uploaded to other podcast sites. But, Ngozi gives us all a little history lesson, and how what we're ta...

They are still counting ballots here in #georgia for #election2020. Meanwhile, I bring you part 4 of my interview with @nnakitout, as we talk about ... what book did you read? "Dear White America" by @speakoutwithtimwise (gonna add that to my reading list). We recorded this the night of #halloween, so Eddie decided to startle us at some point. But - the #defense #budget #socialsafetynet, and #welf...

Alright, y'all. Your host, we're still settling into this new  Instagram handle, so give us a follow! We don't know where this election will land (still) (# indecision2020), but in the meantime, Ngozi (@nnakitout) and I (@the_ava_davis) try and figure out why some of y'all don't want everyone to have a seat at the table, and what exactly does the libertarian party stand for. Someone tell us....

Alright, y'all. Your host, @the_ava_davis here, and we're still settling into this new #instagram handle, so give us a follow! Today kicks off a bit of special conversation, with my friend Ngozi (@nnakitout ). The election is today, so besides stress cooking two pots of #coqauvin, I bring you the continued convo with Ngozi. We both #stan @joebiden and @kamalaharris, and believe those two candidate...

Alright, y'all. We're settling into this new #instagram handle, so give us a follow! Today kicks off a bit of special conversation, with my friend Ngozi. The election is tomorrow, and we have a whole lot to say about our country, its electorate, and participating in the process. We both #stan Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, and believe those two candidates to be the one who can lead our country effec...

Today I'm coming to you from my backyard, so I could quickly get an episode done. I got to see an old friend today, and practice some self care in the form of connecting with people, and preparing for the future (projects in the work and rehearsals!) The only thing I can promise for tomorrow is to be less scattered than today! ----------------------- Watch the latest episodes at  www.theavada...

Alright, y'all! Today's show is brought to you by good mental health habits.  For me, that was taking a break last week to regroup, and giving myself permission to do nothing on my off days.  And, it also meant the announcement of a new project I'm more than excited to be a part of, Proud Mary Theatre (www.proudmarytheatre.com) presenting The Laramie Project coming in October!  But...

OK, rounding out the week by spotlighting a few things! First, Hush Harbor Lab presents Mia Kristin Smith's (@therealmiakristinsmith) workshopped play, LOCKED, this Sunday at 7PM. Tix are free and info on Hush Harbor's website (https://www.hushharborlab.com/upcoming-events/event-one-f555e)  and Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/hushharborlab/). Second, my cousin @lynzkitchen_ is selling...

Today's ... an episode. Again, trying out the iPhone thing. But also taking a minute to take stock of my anxiety, not in the coronavirus but in the national upheaval and trajectory of actions.  ----------------------- Watch the latest episodes at  www.theavadavishow.com and sign up for our newsletter!

Today is back in the studio (I got in before the day got too hot!) So, I'm blabbering on about yesterday and my lessons in letting go of perfectionism this week (today's was how did it feel to do zero cuts and zoom ins) while also talking a bit about an audition yesterday and how I let go of perfectionism. ----------------------- Watch the latest episodes at  www.theavadavishow.com and sign u...

Today is letting go of (most of my) perfectionism. So, today was recorded on my phone at the shop. And, also, tonight at 8PM I hope you tune in as @ProudMaryTheatre, SC's first and only LGBTQ Theater company, presents Robert Fusons' Millenial Approached/It's A Generational Thing! Check out Proud Mary's bio for more info on how to join, and let me know what you think! I'm really excited and proud o...

So a bit late today; it's a very busy week and I'm probably gonna have to learn a lesson in letting perfectionism go, but before I do I just wanted to share a euphoric moment about showing up as my authentic self. And the thing that's a constant in an actor's life, auditioning. All that and I guess a bit more! ----------------------- Visit www.theavadavishow.com and sign up for our newsletter! Fol...
