I don't feel that I was often compartmentalized as an African-American actor, yet I am fully aware of the plight that actors, directors and producers of color face in our industry. I choose to focus on being proactive in creating opportunities for myself and others while acknowledging that we are not playing on a level playing field.
There has been a tremendous growth in the entertainment industry throughout Atlanta. There are many opportunities in film, television and theatre.
My husband's name is Christopher Morgan, and we met in Atlanta. My two children are Sebastian and Quincy.
I've been asked for years to do a reality show. One of my criteria is that I would be given the opportunity to show a strong family unit.
I recognize the unknowing, involuntary effect that 'Facts of Life' had and continues to have on several generations of people.
I really enjoy theater. Performing live onstage is helping me to grow as an actress.
I keep in touch with a lot of people I work with.
I always felt that I had a childhood. I went to regular school whenever I wasn't working. At one point, I wanted to be a marine biologist.
God-willing and prayerfully, we are always growing and changing and developing personally and professionally.
As a director, I love being able to really be a contributing factor to the overall vision of a project.
Acting is my first love. There are still so many characters inside of me that are waiting to come out.
Family is very important to me. People often ask me how I managed to stay grounded and sane, having started as a child star and growing up in the industry, and really, it's God. But it's also my family and God in my family.
'Facts of Life' was and continues to be a milestone on my journey. But when people act like the journey ended when 'Facts of Life' ended, that's annoying. I could never and would never want to divorce myself from it because it was such a great experience from so many different facets.
Balance is so important. We all have to cut up our clock to find out what works for you. If you're ineffective, you're using bad clock management, and you have to adjust. Using a basketball reference, the team who wins is the team that can make adjustments in real time.
