One Year plus Three Months

Hello World!

So it's officially been one year plus three months.

Of what you ask?

Well it has been one full year since I started blogging (February 22nd), and three months since I decided to shave my head and go natural.

Alot has changed for me between that one year period, and three month period. But overall all the changes that have happened in my live and continue to happen are for the better, there isn't a moment in my life where I regret a decision I made, or the outcome of a situation. I always remember that God has a purpose and a plan for my life.

But the best change/ decision I've made thus far in my life was shaving my head. If you look back in my past blog posts you can see that in some posts I talk about going natural, but the process is actually hard. A person can go natural (growing out the perm) in many ways, some people grow it out, grow it out then do a BC (big chop), or some people completely shave it.

Well I decided to shave it, and I've never been happier, I feel empowered, free, and from time to time I feel a little breeze on my head lol.

When I first shaved my head I got mixed reviews, most liked it, and few didn't like it. I found that a few black females looked down on me for shaving my head, but I could honestly care less. I'm happy, and that's all that matters.

For most of my teen years I always cared alot about how people perceived me or thought about me, but that all changed when I met a friend in high school K.P. who really opened my eyes and made me realize that the moment you stop realizing what people thought about you, was the moment you became free. From then on I started living my life almost "selfishly" (in a good way) always putting myself first, and doing what I though was right never wondering what people thought about me, and since then I never looked back.

Hello World!

So this post is just a quick up date on my acting life, I call it my acting life because I feel the need to separate my future career and my regular life. I've been told by so many people that I'm much more aggressive, and "business-like" when I have my acting cap on, which is true. After being in the industry for over 5 years (I got my fist agent when I was in grade 9), I learned that if given the opportunity people will walk all over you and take your money before you blink. But in my regular life, I'm much or laid back and a total goof ball.

Anyways, back to my "acting life" update, my shoot for the TV show I was on was SOOO much fun, I made a lot of amazing friends, and met a lot of amazing people! Because the cast and crew was so small it was very easy to make friends, and as usual I was the only person who didn't live in Toronto. I find it very funny when people's jaws drop when I tell them I live in Mississauga, they can't fathom the thought of me taking the bus/ subway all the way to the city, but in all honesty it's not that bad.

And on another note, I'm having a lot of fun being apart of the NGO drama team, it's great! I get to work with talented and experienced actors, perform, and get paid! WOOHOO.

Overall I'm having fun doing what I love, and finding lots of support along the way.

P.S. my managers at work are like my mini cheerleaders, their always asking me for up dates, and giving me time off when I have auditions, how amazing is that?

Anyhow readers, I hope all is going well with you guys, and remember "When God closes a door, he opens a window".

Yours truly,

I guess I'm too black huh? WRONG

Hello World!

So recently I was on set of a TV show that was filming in Toronto, and as usual I met alot of cool people, but the unique thing about this set was that the cast and crew was VERY small, so it was alot of fun.

As usual on TV sets there is ALOT of waiting around, so what better to do when your board then to chat! Everyone began chatting about their acting experiences, and their dedication to the art, but one conversation in general with a guy I met on set really bothered me! EXTREMELY!

The conversation began with him asking me questions and vice versa, then randomly he began telling me that it would be harder for "people" like me and him to break into the acting industry due to our skin colour, he began to go on a ignorant rant that darker skin actors like us (he was a few shades darker then me) won't make it in Canada and that black people like "us" only make it in the US. WELL of course this bugged me as he continued to go on and state that if I was lighter skinned I would go farther. WELL GOOD HEAVENS, if that is the key to success then pass me that bleach. NOT

Although many people may find his comments to be true its not, yes if you have lighter skin you may get more call backs and auditions, but dammit if you have no talent, you will not make it far or last in this industry. I may be "dark" but I have talent, and I grantee you that in 3 years from now I will be ALL over your TV screen acting my heart out, and accepting awards all over the world!

The real key to making it in the acting industry is to be FEARLESS, and believe and trust in God!

Yours truly,
