About Me
I don’t really remember much about my younger years, but one memory that stuck out to me the most was staring at the TV mindlessly, as a young girl probably would. I remember watching the movie It’s a Wonderful Life with My Grandmother. We would constantly watch every single thing that would come on Turner Classic Movies. Some kids may have seen that as a punishment, watching these black-and-white movies that had no color, but to me, the vibrancy came through the words and the small expressions of every character. I looked at my Granny one day and said, “I want to be like that,” and she looked back at me and said, “What exactly is that?”
At that moment, I didn’t know what that was either, but in my heart, I knew I was gonna do everything I could to become whatever that is, and here I am 15–20 years later, being the actress you see on your TV screens and now being the writer I was always destined to be. It ignited even more when I was a young girl in the sixth grade and was given the opportunity to meet Morgan Freeman for the poems that I created. Nothing came of that, but in my heart, I knew that this could be something that I could do for the rest of my life, so I became an actress after a divorce, becoming a mother, saying this would be my way to get back into writing one day, and now here we are together in this very moment with you reading a little about me.
Much love,
