We recently connected with E’brandia Perry and have shared our conversation below.

Hi E’brandia , thanks for joining us today. Looking back, do you think you started your business at the right time? Do you wish you had started sooner or later

If I could go back in time, I honestly wish I would have started my business sooner. I started building my production company while balancing a full-time career, leadership responsibilities, and life in general. At the time, I was heavily focused on stability, professional growth, and making sure responsibilities came first. Creativity was always there, but I treated it like something I would “fully step into later” once life slowed down. The truth is,
life never really slows down.

When I officially stepped into creating productions and building what is now E’Major Studios, I was at a point in life where I had already developed leadership skills, discipline, communication skills, and resilience through my corporate career. In many ways, that experience helped shape me into a stronger business owner, director, and storyteller. I knew how to manage people, handle pressure, solve problems, and push projects forward even when things became difficult.

But looking back, I realize I spent years second-guessing whether the timing was “right.” If I had started sooner, I think I would have given myself permission earlier to fully own my creativity and trust my vision. I would have had more time to grow, fail, learn, and evolve without overthinking perfection. I also think I underestimated how much my voice, ideas, and storytelling could impact people.

At the same time, I don’t regret the journey. Starting when I did gave me depth. A lot of the stories I write now come from real-life experiences, leadership challenges, emotional growth, family dynamics, and watching people navigate pain, identity, survival, and redemption. I don’t think my work would carry the same emotional weight had I started much younger.

So, if I had to choose, I’d say I wish I had started sooner but with the mindset, wisdom, and confidence I have now. The timing taught me lessons I needed, but it also showed me that waiting for the “perfect moment” can delay purpose. Sometimes you have to build while you’re still figuring life out

E’brandia , before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?

I’m a creative producer, writer, director, performer, and the founder of E’Major Studios. Storytelling has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I started singing and acting at just 3 years old, and by age 13, I was already performing professionally. From the very beginning, I fell in love with the emotional connection that performance creates — the ability to make people laugh, cry, reflect, heal, and feel seen through art.

Over the years, I’ve performed in several stage plays and films, but creativity for me was never limited to performing alone. In high school, I began writing original duet acting pieces for speech and debate competitions, many of which won awards. I’ve also always had a passion for writing songs, poetry, and emotionally driven stories. Writing became an outlet for expression, healing, and truth-telling, and eventually evolved into directing and producing my own creative work.

Today, through E’Major Studios, I create stage productions, original scripts, film concepts, live entertainment experiences, actor development opportunities, and emotionally impactful storytelling centered around themes like family, identity, survival, faith, redemption, and community. My work blends drama, humor, realism, and emotion in a way that aims to leave a lasting impact on audiences long after the performance ends.

What sets me apart is authenticity. I create from real emotion and lived experience. I’m deeply intentional about character development, dialogue, pacing, and creating moments that feel honest and relatable. I never want audiences to simply “watch” a production I want them to experience it. Whether it’s a heartbreaking dramatic moment, a powerful monologue, or a comedic exchange that feels painfully real, I want people to connect to the humanity in the story.

My background outside of entertainment has also shaped who I am creatively. Professionally, I’ve spent years in leadership and operations roles, which taught me discipline, resilience, communication, and how to lead people under pressure. I bring that same level of professionalism and structure into my creative work and productions. I believe creativity and excellence should coexist.

One of the things I’m most proud of is building a brand that reflects both passion and purpose. Creating something from the ground up takes faith, sacrifice, consistency, and vision. There are countless behind-the-scenes moments people never see …the long nights writing, directing, organizing, problem-solving, and pushing through doubt but seeing stories move from imagination to stage and watching audiences emotionally respond makes every challenge worth it.

More than anything, I want people to know that E’Major Studios is rooted in heart. This brand is about more than entertainment. It’s about creating meaningful experiences, telling stories that resonate deeply, and building productions that people remember long after the curtain closes.

We’d love to hear the story of how you built up your social media audience?

Building an audience on social media has honestly been a journey of consistency, authenticity, and learning how to stop overthinking perfection. In the beginning, I think a lot of people assume you need a huge following, expensive equipment, or viral moments to build a brand online, but for me, it started with simply showing up and sharing what I genuinely cared about.

Personally, I began using social media as a way to share my creative world writing, stage productions, behind-the-scenes moments, casting calls, rehearsals, emotional storytelling, promotional content, and even the challenges that come with building something from the ground up. I realized people don’t just connect to polished final products; they connect to the process, the passion, and the person behind the brand.

One thing that helped me grow my audience was leaning into storytelling instead of just promotion. Instead of constantly saying “support this” or “buy tickets,” I focused on creating content that made people feel something. Whether it was a dramatic monologue, a funny rehearsal moment, an emotional caption, or a real conversation about chasing purpose, I learned that engagement comes from connection more than marketing.

How do you keep your team’s morale high?

Managing a team successfully starts with understanding that people perform their best when they feel respected, supported, informed, and valued. High morale doesn’t come from constantly keeping everyone happy it comes from creating an environment where people feel trusted, heard, challenged, and connected to a bigger purpose.

One of the biggest things I’ve learned as a leader is that consistency matters more than perfection. Teams need clear expectations, accountability, communication, and structure. People may not always agree with every decision, but they can respect leadership that is fair, transparent, and dependable.

My biggest advice for leaders would be:
Lead with consistency and fairness. Communicate clearly and often. Address issues early instead of allowing resentment to grow. Create accountability without creating fear. Recognize effort and celebrate progress. Stay solution-oriented during stressful moments. Build a culture where respect and teamwork are expected from everyone.

Most importantly, remember that people don’t only follow titles, they follow trust. Teams thrive when they believe their leader genuinely cares about both the work and the people doing it.
