My
life was forever changed the night my friend, CaRyn took me to the Comedy Act Theatre one Thursday .I was asked to open up for the late-great Robin Harris. Much to my suprise, Robin became my mentor/father-figure.Because of his direction,and (continued) guidance,I've been blessed with a 15+year comedy-acting career. Having said that, even with all the television-commercial-ind.film experience under my belt,I feel I'm just gettin' started!The best is yet to come!
I love to laugh. More importantly, I love to make people laugh,in my perfect world,I like to make people think while they laugh.
I am passionate and provocative,some might say sexy,or aloof or mysterious.The truth is,I'm quite shy until I'm comfortable. From there I'm funny,witty,don't take myself too seriously,I'm not afraid to fail,which frees me up to succeed-as a person,performer,daughter, sister,friend and lover.My daily attempt is to give praise and glory to God,love with the purest part of my heart, look for the good in others,and honor the best in myself!
Who I'd like to meet:
Corey Booker,Mos Def,Jill Scott,India Arie,Nelson Mandela,Barak Obama,Dick Gregory,George Carlin,Cornell West,Al Sharpton(He's smarter than we're led to think)Condeleeza Rice(she needs a good talkin' to..)Anita Baker.Jeffery Wright.Kathy Griffin,Wendy Williams.
I am so happy for our brother Obama!!! God is on his side! If God be for him who can be against him? Let's keep our brother, his family and all those working closely around him lifted up in prayer. Those who have gone before him have planted the seeds, now is the time for the harvest! Praise the Lord!
P.S. Thank you for reaching out to me and chatting sometimes. You are truly one of God's precious gifts.
