Tekisha Walton
Introducing Tekisha Walton Hello! My name is Tekisha Walton and I am 32-years-old. I am from Miami, FL but currently live in Madison, AL. I attended Florida Memorial University where I received my bachelor's in psychology. From there I went on to study at Arizona State University where I received my masters in human and family development. After that, I studied theatre for a bit at Nova Southeastern University. So where does my passion for theatre come in? Well, I started writing screenplays in middle school. A very good friend of mine introduced it to me and I fell in love with it. Many of my school friends read some of my plays during that time and they were intrigued by them. Then in high school, more good friends read them, and really enjoyed them a lot. After that, I fell apart from screenwriting, I’m not sure, but it just left my heart. And I honestly pursued majors that I thought sounded good, if that makes sense! But in the end, I fell back in love with my passion, and have been writing ever since!

A couple of weeks back, I started a podcast with my friend Shania Bethune, called “Making It: Women in Film” (shameless self-plug), where we sit down with women who work in the film and TV industry. We wanted to create a space where women could speak about and share their experiences and opinions, and where aspiring filmmakers could ask for advice and get answers relevant to their position and dreams.

Suzannah Dacre of ULTIS pro: “Love powers everything; in life and business”
As a part of my series about strong female leaders, I had the pleasure of interviewing Suzannah Dacre, founder of ULTIS pro, CEO of many visions, and philanthropic innovation strategist. Suzannah is well known for her work in community and business, and isn’t a stranger to award recognised startups defying industry standards. A daughter of a builder and lawyer, and raised by an international merchant shipping captain, international business is the norm, and so is rough terrain in the community. But when business meets community, and the gap between rich and poor are a hot topic worldwide, ULTIS pro is working to defy that. It is a vision by Suzannah Dacre, that people are calling powerful, and profound, and aims to close the gap between rich and poor, that allows people to be selfish and selfless at the same time.
