The highly awaited collaboration by producers Mark Wahlberg and Steve Levinson. Who am I... I think I am still trying to figure that out. Every day I find out new things about myself. Mostly things I love, occasionally some things that I don’t. What I want you to know about me… what I feel comfortable sharing today is that I am a fighter, someone who defied the odds, someone who wont take no for an answer. The daughter of the King. What do I do... I travel, I eat, I love, I laugh, I cry, I counsel my friends (honestly, I give good advice). For a profession I am blessed in that I am able to act. I love it, with a passion. What did I want to do... when I was a little girl I swore I was going to be a lawyer because I love to debate and argue a point. In high school all I wanted to do was be on ‘Real World’ HA! What do I love most... I love my independence the most. It is scary, frightening actually to support yourself, to be an actual adult, to stand on your own and say “Win or Lose, its falling on your shoulders” But I love it. I know a lot of people, a lot of women sadly, that lack independence- that makes me sad. By the Grace of God, I maintain my independence. Horray! What do I detest... Racism. Period point blank. Racism and germs. I am a germaphobe. What can I teach... that no matter your circumstances in life, no matter your beginnings, you have the power to change your life! You can have the ending YOU want. My hidden talent... I can cook. Yes, I can. I love to. Probably bc I love to eat. Yes I do. Maybe one day Ill do a cooking special. LOL My Achilles’ heel... expensive shoes! I just went off the rails on a pair of Balenciaga boots. Love them. Worst part is I purchased them while I was in London and paid for them in pounds… Which is much more when converted to dollars. Ooopsie. What’s on my ipod... a lot of Beyoncé. And Jay Z. I loved them both before they were a unit. What’s in my closet... JEANS! I love jeans! AG, Goldsign, Rag N Bone, Rich and Skinny, Frame. My favorites at the moment. What’s in my refrigerator... left over Indian Food! Which I will be eating for dinner tonight. I always keep fresh organic fruit as well. Strawberries, blackberries, raspberries and watermelon. What’s in my future... a hit show to start! A few Emmy awards, Golden Globes, Oscar, yeah, Ill just throw that out there. Movies during my hiatuses, and Happiness, Lots of happiness. A great moment... I was in Miami shooting- I was driving down the freeway headed to set- the sun was shining, birds chirping- and I realized I was doing exactly what I had been working so hard for, what I prayed for and sacrificed for. I took a moment to cry and thank God for all my blessings. It was by far one of the best moments. Being able to appreciate the fact that you got what you wanted, and it was just as grand as I imagined.
