My husband's name is Christopher Morgan, and we met in Atlanta. My two children are Sebastian and Quincy.
Working with Will Smith was one of the highlights of my career. He is so talented and has a tremendous work ethic. We are still friends, and I reach out to him and his partner to pitch ideas. He loves my mother. In fact, my mother was his son Jaden's acting coach for the movie 'Pursuit of Happiness.'
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.
The first choice for me is what's going to make me stretch out in my craft?
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 will encourage my kids in everything that life has to offer.
I was never pushed into the industry. I was a very shy child. I was not one to perform for friends and family at every get-together.
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 miss my 'Facts of Life' family. But I had been preparing myself to leave the show for some time before we called it quits.
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.
