It's funny how God will just keep using you, and our motto around our family forever has been, 'Just let Him use you.'
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'm not just considered a former child star. I'm not considered a black actress. I'm not considered an actress. I've done roles that were written for men. First and foremost is God: I definitely believe in Him having kind of mapped out what my destiny was going to be.
I recognize that every role I play, I'm not going to play someone that has a ministry or that is a Christian, and I don't think that's what God has called me to do. The gift and talent that He's given me as an actor, director, producer is to entertain, sometimes to inform, most times to inspire.
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.
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!
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?
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 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.
