The lovely ladies over at Meant2BFamous and I did an interview a few weeks ago...finally putting it up...sorry for the delay.
CLICK HERE for the Interview
ALSO: Just putting it out there: I'm going to go to LA before this year is out.
(I keep saying it and putting it off) need to make it happen. Don't know how or for what but it needs to happen.
OHHH!! If you have a scanner on your phone...I created a QR code for my website...looks a little something like this!
If you have the Iphone I prefer the app QR Reader..it's fast and easy and it'll take you right to it. It's kinda fun.
Last week's meeting with a Network Exec...I won't mention any names but I'll say this:
Whew...it was intense.
A lot of information
A whole lot of you're doing it all wrong.
A whole lot of it's so hard, why are you doing this, harder for people of color, gonna take you a million years, etc etc etc.
And then I started watching "How To Make it in America." Nuff said.
I won't let anyone define me or what I do. Maybe my path is gonna be a little different than yours...and I'm ok with that. Geez...
(side note: She was a really high exec and it's crazy that my first meeting ever was with her. Totally impressed with the favor-she'd be a great mentor-remember I'm still on the lookout for one.)
Baby Bump
My lovely sis sent me a picture of her baby bump recently and I almost cried. I honestly know what Tamera Mowry-Housely felt when her sister Tia was pregnant. I'm gonna be such a great aunt!
And congrats guys on your closing. Makes us single gals still believe that our prince and castle will come too.
(sidenote: Tia and Tamera Take 2 is such a great show that shattered all type of records on the Style Network...see it can be done.)
Philly
Went back to Philly this past week and it was really great...a friend of mine drove me out there and we had a BLAST! Ate cheesesteaks at Max's (shout out to Kevin Hart who filmed some of his film Laugh At My Pain there.)
And I honestly had a really great audition, I think they really liked me so hopefully (God I know you hear this...I would really LOVE to book it...please and thank you)
Also, also, also...my friend Kenya and I have a fantastic idea for a new venture...doing all the research for that now...hopefully can tell you more by Christmas time.
The Mountaintop
OMG!!! Go see it, go see it, go see it!!
It is incredible. And I know I'm such a fanatic for Angela Bassett...but ya'll...she is phenomenal. I don't really remember Samuel L. Jackson being onstage (even though the play is about MLK and he plays the main character) But I tell ya...from the moment she was onstage I couldn't take my eyes off her. Simply breath-taking.
Ok...also...around this time of year is when I start doubting myself and doubting why I'm doing what I'm doing and comparing myself to other actresses and my friends and how far along they are in their journey. Yeah...I said it...it's not always butterflies and roses.
Here I stand again at a critical point in my life...trying to talk myself into not quitting and moving back to GA and leading a normal life. I mean why bother with this chasing dreams bit? Quite frankly...it's hard. And it sucks sometimes.
I just want to act.
But no. I have to submit. And audition. And work a survival job, and network, and work out (ha!) and be optimistic and most of all...BE PATIENT.
I hear it all the time and quite frankly...it's harder than it seems. But I trust God. I trust that I'm making the right decision and following my dream. And even though today looks a little grim (why is my survival job closing for the winter?) I know it will get better.
I mean it can all change in an instant right? RIGHT?!?!?
Lol..of course it can. We all know I'm not a patient person...hello have you been reading my blog? And right now I'm distracted and want to crawl into a warm hole and stay forever (there's something about that whole-weather-changing-to-coldness that I despise) But the show must go on...somehow. With a smile on my face. Which is kind of breaking out right now ugh!!
Point being..."You can't win if you're not sitting at the table." Heard that today in a film...which was free and you MUST watch online...it's called Five
It's centered around Breast Cancer Awareness "Pinktober" Month (get tested ladies) and it was AWESOME!! All about empowering women. And the short stories all tied together beautifully. I'm sure Asia will appreciate it...it's a Lifetime movie.

Directed by: Jennifer Anniston, Demi Moore, Alicia Keys, Penelope Spheeris Patty Jenkins and starring Jeanne Tripplehorn. And two of my favorite actresses Rosario Dawson and Tracee Ellis Ross. #whoruntheworld
In case you were wondering...no I will not give up until I've accomplished what I said I would. Just gets a little tricky when I have to put on a coat and scarf to leave the house.
Keep dreachasing guys! You inspire me!!
