   When Women Aren’t Believed: Storytelling, Courage & The Cassandra Project with Barclay DeVeau

   In this powerful episode of Fierce Frequency, host Angela Cherry sits down with Emmy Award-winning filmmaker, producer, and director Barclay DeVeau for a deeply personal conversation about storytelling, resilience, empathy, and using creativity to create meaningful change. From beginning her career on Broadway as a child to building a life behind the camera, Barclay shares how decades of storytelling ultimately prepared her to tell one of her most important stories yet. At the heart of the conversation is The Cassandra Project, a trilogy of scripted short films exploring the dangerously high stakes of disregarding women's voices. Born from Barclay's own traumatic experience of not being heard while facing a serious health crisis, the project transforms pain into purpose through storytelling designed to spark conversation, education, and change. Barclay also shares why filmmaking gives her the opportunity to walk in other people's shoes, the importance of believing in what's possible, and how a powerful community has rallied around The Cassandra Project. What you'll learn in this episode: How Barclay's childhood experiences on Broadway shaped her journey as a filmmaker Why empathy is at the heart of great storytelling and directing How a deeply personal experience inspired The Cassandra Project Why dismissing women's voices can have consequences that affect everyone How scripted storytelling can create emotional connection and inspire real-world conversations Follow Barclay DeVeau and The Cassandra Project on: Website – (http://www.thecassandraproject.net)www.thecassandraproject.net (http://www.thecassandraproject.net) Instagram – @CassandraProjectFilm (https://www.instagram.com/cassandraprojectfilm/) Follow Angela Cherry on: Instagram – @angela_cherry1 LinkedIn – (https://www.linkedin.com/in/angela-cherry-4b40ba31/)https://www.linkedin.com/in/angela-cherry-4b40ba31/ (https://www.linkedin.com/in/angela-cherry-4b40ba31/) Facebook – (https://www.facebook.com/angela.g.cherry)https://www.facebook.com/angela.g.cherry (https://www.facebook.com/angela.g.cherry)
