#52 Devery Jacobs | Navigating Identity, Passion, and Burnout
A powerhouse actor, activist, and all-around creative force who's redefining what it means to be a storyteller in today’s world. Today homegirls, we have Devery Jacobs hanging out with us! You might know her from her groundbreaking role in 'Reservation Dogs' or her fearless performances in films like 'Rhymes for Young Ghouls' and 'Blood Quantum.' But Devery isn’t just about stealing scenes on screen—she’s also out here advocating for Indigenous rights, gender equality, and more inclusive representation in the film industry.
Devery brings passion, purpose, and a whole lot of talent to everything she does as heard and felt in her latest narrating role in 'In The Hands of Men,' where Devery takes on the role of Delilah, a woman who is haunted by the loss of her cousin and driven by a fierce need for justice and desire to take back the power stolen from generations of indigenous women before her.
In our short but sweet conversation, Devery shares her thoughts on representing the indigenous community in her work, leading with passion and the reality of burnouts.
Alright, let's hangout!
