Totally had a blast performing as Ella in Patricia Cuffie-Jones’ & Kenny Lattimore’s stage production Love Soul Deep…talk about a beautiful challenge… had 3 days and 2 rehearsals to learn the entire script!  fear of failure is a hell of a drug… gotta admit I loved the rush…  nothing better than doing your passion… someone get the blood off the stage – murdered it!  Ok ignore that last statement… I think I listened to too much Tupac and spent to much time in Compton while I was in LA (lol)

I was so honored to be part of the 2015 Black Women Film Network Summit.  The work that Mrs. Sheryl Gripper, founder, is doing to fortify the next generation of female creators is amazing.  It was such a full circle moment for me.  Last year this time I was a hungry audience member eager eat any nugget of wisdom that the Hollywood greats dropped and this year I am looking at the audience members, dishing out my own nuggets… I seriously teared up in the middle of speaking on the panel… anyway enjoy the pictures and join the movement http://www.blackwomenfilm.org

Just wanted to take a second to say thank you to all the organizations and schools that have invited me out to speak to their groups.   I am passionate about encouraging others to dream BIG and am so glad that God has opened the door for me to share His platform “you have not because you ask not”

2015 Oscars… Congrats to the entire Selma team… any way you look at it we ALL totally won!

  Like most when I think about Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. words like strength, courage, and leadership come to my mind.  But recently after moderating a panel at a private screening of the Oscar nominated film Selma, I begin to reflect on the keys to his success.  What are the components necessary to achieve a dream?  I propose that you need faith, family, friends, and focus.  You need the faith to know that there is a power higher than yourself that is hearing your cries and responding to your prayers.  You need a family who will tell you the truth and cheer for you along the way.  You need friends to make you laugh and volunteer to work for all your crazy events.  And finally you need something to focus on!  For me my little girls are my main focus.  When my mind gets cloudy I make myself focus on how my decision will affect their future and emotions.  These four “f’s” keep me on the path to seeing my dreams come true.  I wonder what are your dream’s key components?

ok so it takes a lot to make me respond like an excited groupie… like i think its cool to meet popular people but since i fundamentally believe that we are all stars in our own right i usually skip pass the OMG shock and go straight relaxed conversation like we have known each others for years… but let me just say chilling with Omari, dining at Oprah’s, and partying with literally every African American living legend  turned me into a straight geek monster, TMZ intern, and oh sooo excited groupie!!! What a wonderful day… Only one more “O” to go…
