Summary

"I believe there's a bigger plan for all of us at play. We're just not always in tune with the seasons of life." When actress Asha Bromfield noticed a lack of projects that told stories like her own, she realized it was her responsibility to create them. Asha tells Zibby about how she was able to write her debut novel, Hurricane Summer, which parts of her own womanhood she wanted the story to explore, and in what ways the experience allowed her to better understand her relationship with her father as well as with herself. Asha also shares what she's been working on outside of both writing and acting, and what she plans to do next.
