From Birmingham to Hollywood: An Inspiring Journey of Purpose, Production, and Philanthropy

From Birmingham to Brooklyn: How Adel Roy Found Her Purpose, and Helps You Find Yours

Adel Roy is a multifaceted leader, accomplished author, and doctoral candidate in Business Administration at Walden University. A dedicated wife, mother, media expert, producer, and business owner, she originally hailed from Birmingham, England, before making the bold move to New York nearly four decades ago. The transition was not easy for the UK native, but she felt a profound calling and embraced the magnitude of her life’s responsibility. After nearly a decade of navigating the city, she developed a keen sense of her true purpose, marking the official beginning of her journey as an author.

Her literary debut, inspired by conversations with her husband and finalized with the guidance of a trusted mentor, culminated in her first book. Originally titled Pursuit of Purpose, the book has undergone several revisions and was recently retitled Establish: A Mission of Self Discovery, a nod to the biblical scripture 1 Peter 5:10. This deeply personal work chronicles her challenges, her self discovery, and her spiritual connection with God. Building on that foundation, Adel wrote her second self published book, Making the Connector: Understanding the Power of Connections in Finding Your Purpose, which brilliantly deconstructs the cliché of being in the right place at the right time.

From Page to Prime Time: Adel Roy’s Hollywood Leap and the Power of Strategic Alignment

From book to television, Adel expanded her Pursuit of Purpose concept from paper to film by writing and producing her first documentary, Pursuing Purpose, which aired on a local public television station in Lansing, Michigan. Driven to elevate her craft, she sought out specialized training courses to master the art of creating high quality, broadcast ready programming. Realizing that the best way to truly learn the ins and outs of television and production was to be where the action happens, she made the bold decision to relocate to Los Angeles, California.

The cross country move was not effortless, but it opened doors to incredible business opportunities, elite networking groups, and powerful professional connections. The ultimate turning point came when Adel met Hollywood correspondent and branding expert Antoinette Love Ransom, a perfect example of the “Making the Connector” moments Adel champions in her second book. Recognizing that people enter your life for specific reasons, this brief encounter blossomed into a strategic mentorship. Antoinette and her team ultimately helped Mrs. Roy develop her production business, successfully launching and establishing Adel Media Productions.

High Risk, High Reward: Why Adel Roy Launched By Affinity Inc. to Champion Underprivileged Youth

Some life altering events in Adel’s past fundamentally shaped the narrative of who she is today. Her purpose became crystal clear, moving seamlessly from being a multifaceted leader to helping save a child’s life. Driven by this calling, she took a bold leap last year to establish her own 501(c)(3) nonprofit, By Affinity Inc., designed to create life changing opportunities for underprivileged young people who possess incredible creative skills but lack the resources to truly flourish.

By Affinity Inc. serves as a powerful launchpad, helping participants gain the exact skills they need to secure employment or become successfully self employed. True to Adel’s philosophy, the nonprofit acts as a unique matchmaking platform to connect these young creatives with mentors who can unlock their full potential. It is a striking reminder to consider your own place in the matrix of life. Are you fulfilling the calling that brings about real change? As Adel beautifully puts it, making a global impact often requires taking chances, because when you embrace a high risk, high reward mindset to serve others, you truly become the change you wish to see in the world.
