Complexity... the webseries

The Complex lives of people from all walks of life living in one Complex. The struggle of everyday reality from poverty, abortion, cheating, divorce, single parent homes etc. The inner most struggle to survive and move forward. To live a life of truth in a world of Complexity.



I've been working on this webseries. I'm so excited and can't wait for you all to see it. It's directed by Marquitta Baines. The cast includes Chris Sledge, Kelly Conner, Angela Christie, Euseph Messiah, Richard Baines, Noelia Chaparro, Al G Sillah.....
Check out a few pics from our promo shoot and behind the scenes.



When it airs I will be sure to let you know. Drama and excitement filled, you will not want to miss what goes on in the complex. (Believe me)

Filming a short...

[My lovely cast members. I was still in hair and makeup...
takes a lot to look as bad as I did]

I have been working on a short film this past week and will be finishing it up tomorrow.  The crew and the rest of the cast was great.  We hit it off right away, I love working on productions their like your family.  I'm the lead character in the film and it's an emotional roller coaster so buckle up and get ready for the ride, you will not expect the ending. I didn't expect it at all, the crew couldn't even tell the cast we had a whole secret scene.  I'll let you in on the rest of the scoop when I can.

[Don't go to sleep in between takes LOL]



[Next Location: The Purple Door Salon]


*I'll update with more behind the scenes pictures later.*

Happy Harvest!!!

Today is a day for thanks but I give thanks everyday for my (not always good) but wonderful life!!! Thank you Lord...

I haven't posted anything in a while, I have been extremely busy with work and film school and acting.
Just wanted to say something since I have a little break from my normal grind.

Good Morning!!

The Early Bird gets the Worm...
I woke up super early today to get ahead of my emails and breakdowns. NOW... I have time to breathe and eat. Pomegranate Juice and Bananas for breakfast. I am definitely going to stay on a healthy diet and workout plan. So all we have to do is figure out the plan.

It's Christmas in Summertime


I absolutely love Christmas time. It's my favorite time of year. I watch Holiday flicks through every season, It's such a mood lifter for me. I've been watching The Family Stone back to back for two straight days. Families are hilarious and loving even through disfunction. Watch this for Christmas in Summer.... or wait a few more months. All Star Cast: Sarah Jessica Parker, Diane Keaton, Rachel McAdams, Claire Danes, Brian White, Luke Wilson...

Once Upon a Time....

there lived a little princess. Her very nurturing mother kept her locked in a faraway castle to protect her from all evil in the land. The queen tried to keep her daughter happy by bearing many many toys. Dolls, Bears, and Barbies :) this was all the princess knew. She had created stories with them and with every story her imagination grew. One late midsummer night the princess dreamed of being in a world unlike her own, beyond the castle's gates. Flashing Lights, Red Carpets, Long Glamorous Gowns, Her Prince and her very own Castle with automated gates (so she can leave whenever she pleases). CUT!!!!! She awoke in a cold sweat not knowing if what she dreamed was real. The princess loved her family and her toys very much but she had to devise an escape plan. "From this moment forward I will give all of me, blood, sweat and tears to get to my dream. I can and I will for this dream is real." And with those words the princess found the code to escape any locked door, window or gate. As she was venturing out to conquer this new world she promised to return and share it with the ones she loved....


This Fairy tale has not ended. The little princess is still finding her way to her dream. Just be patient and stay tuned..... 
It will be a Happily Ever After.

The Beginning of My Journey

"If I were white, I could capture the world."
~Dorothy Dandridge~
Through my eyes, you have captured the world. You have given endless inspiration to me. To believe that another little black girl from Cleveland, OH can make an imprint on Hollywood.  It's a new time and a new age with more opportunity because you started the path... I will continue along that path and continue to push forward until everyone knows how much we have captured this world.
