Bunmi Laditan says the key to doing what you love is to just start where you are. Bunmi created the Twitter feed, The Honest Toddler back in April 2012 and 4 short months later an agent called and offered her a book deal. Today The Honest Toddler Twitter feed has over 280,000 followers. Her Facebook page >> 198,000 followers.

Now, she's currently working with television producers to transform The Honest Toddler into a TV series. Darren Starr, the creator of the famed Sex and City series has even approached her about the possibility.

The Honest Toddler is based on Bunmi’s now four year old daughter, which is only appropriate as to why you’ll hear her sweet daughter in the background of our interview.

Gina Leibrecht // Following The Fire

In this week’s Firebelly interview, Filmmaker Gina Leibrecht talks about being broke, cold calling, and working for free, all in pursuit of her dream of becoming a filmmaker. Gina knew she couldn’t work the typical 9-5 job, it just wasn’t who she was. A true inspiration, Gina is someone who felt that fire in her belly and went for it, no matter what. She’s a documentary filmmaker — a producer, a director, an editor and a grant-writer (and she does everything else in between when it comes to filmmaking).
