Interview Series
1. If you could live out your WILDEST dream with no fear of failure, what would you be doing?
Hmmm, I have to say I would love to create honest and raw documentaries about whats its like to be an African American actor and model in the entertainment industry. And being plus sized in the industry.
2. What is the most memorable, funniest, or craziest thing that has happened to you on your entertainment journey?
The entertainment industry is fun but crazy, there is always someone who tries to take advantage of you. You have to know your worth. While filming I had been told several times I would be paid. Once my job was well done, I was told it was never said. My mistake for not getting a contract. This stuck with me for some time and eventually after fighting for my worth, I was paid. Money is never the problem, its taking advantage of others in the industry that is. It makes your job as an entertainer harder and you lose trust.
3. Congratulations! You just hit the lottery for 100 million dollars! What do you spend it on?
I always said I would spend the money on a house on top of the hill. Lol, oh yeah and lots of jumbo crab legs.
4. Do you have any hidden talents or party tricks?
Honestly, no, but I am super fun to be around and will get a party started. If I can say I have a hidden talent, it is probably that I am a great communicator, I believe this is why I have some who dont get along with me. I say how I feel at all times and maybe thats not the greatest thing but I believe in expressing myself and not dealing with just anything or anyone.
5. What advice would you give to your younger self?
Trust yourself. Love YOU. Be Brave and care free
6. Who, in the entertainment industry, do you love that you think more people should know about? Why? Shout them out and spread the love!
