While I'm a New Yorker at heart, and 'Harlem Honey' runs through my veins, Atlanta - its awesome residents and glorious landscapes - has a special place in the hearts of my family and I.
It's funny how God will just keep using you, and our motto around our family forever has been, 'Just let Him use you.'
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 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 miss my 'Facts of Life' family. But I had been preparing myself to leave the show for some time before we called it quits.
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.
I have an amazing husband who is a strong man of God. He is very dedicated to me and our family.
I love my family in Baltimore. But on their side of the family, I love their cousin Charles Thompson, because he's from New York like me.
I've been very blessed as far as my faith sustaining me because it's not like I haven't been challenged and I haven't been tested and disappointed. But my faith does really bind me and keep me.
Lord knows I'm not the poster child for eating right and exercising, so I don't want to give that impression at all! This is the same person who people have watched have a weight problem in her teens, so come on!
It was Sunday, January 29. The world has not been the same since then.
It's a blessing to be a part of television shows that were, to a certain extent, staples in a lot of people's lives and as far as their entertainment lives.
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.
