ABIOLA ABRAMS is a TV personality, filmmaker and author who gives fun & funky motivational talks and workshops where she shows up with her pink doctor bag of advice and self esteem to whip us into shape. Abiola's debut novel Dare (Simon & Schuster) is the wild adventure of two women learning to live by their own gutsy rules. For the past two years 28 million viewers have tuned in to watch Abiola on BET: interviewing filmmakers on The Best Shorts, as an outspoken, recurring community panelist on My Two Cents, and hosting specials such as All Access.  As a director Abiola Abrams’ artistic short films and docs investigate themes of gender, race and empowerment. Her directing work includes Knives in My Throat about a spoken word poet dealing with bipolar disorder, Ophelia's Opera about coping with domestic violence, and Afrodite Superstar, acclaimed feminist erotica. The goal of Abiola's work is to use pop culture entertainment to create uncommon inspiration: culturally, politically, emotionally and sexually. Her advice column runs in the weekly urban tabloid Rolling Out. Abiola has BA from Sarah Lawrence and an MFA from Vermont College of Fine Arts.  She is an opinionated tastemaker, cheerleader, hip hop feminist, cultural critic and all around TV big mouth.
