S1 | Ep. 17 - I never thought I questioned who I was w/ Actress & Comedian Alexa Vellanoweth

The Facade Project

What’s up Facaders! It is the last Sunday in January and I don’t know about y’all but I feel like this month dragged on. But I am ready to hit that reset button and go into February with a fresh start, fresh intentions, and fresh attitude. I’m taking things step by step, quarter by quarter this time around and if something didn’t quite go the way you hoped, just know that there is always a new day on the horizon. My guest this week is a California Native, Alexa Vellanoweth and I am so stoked to say that she is the first guest who reached out to come onto the podcast after hearing The Eskimo Sisters join me in breaking the facades so that was a pretty cool feeling. Alexa is an actress, comedian, singer and dancer. She talks to me about being super involved growing up from sports to acting, finding a true passion for theatre versus film, and realizing her privilege and wanting more people to do the same. Alexa and I have a lot in common as far as how we were raised and some inner battles we tend to struggle with but her vulnerability in this podcast with me was one of the most appreciated because I hadn’t even met her in real life in doing this episode so it’s kind of cool to see someone who belives in what you’re doing and is willing to be so open and transparent with their journey. Alexa has some pretty interesting things to say about facades being that she grew up with LA in her backyard, She was ready to break the facades. Are you? @allexavellanoweth @breakthefacades
