different hard
I've really learned to compartmentalize the different parts of my life. I work really hard.
school college tvs
Going from college to being on national TV almost fresh outta school, it happened really fast.
stars goal helping
If my goal is to become a movie star, me working at a pizza shop won't help me. I have to make the stars align.
college black limitation
I went to an historically black college where we're always told that there's limitation. And so I'm happy to represent for black colleges.
thinking past giving
I think anyone who gives you relationship advice goes off of past relationships they have that didn't work. You've got to follow your own path.
acting firsts roles
My very first acting gig was in a movie for Russ Parr. He did this movie called 'Love for Sale,' and that was my first role in any film.
kids weekend film
I love film and I love sitcoms, and I was one of those kids that would just go to the movies on the weekend and spend my whole weekend watching all of the movies.
mentor looks world
I look at a mentor of mine like Ryan Seacrest and the incredible amount of equity he's been able to bring to the broadcasting arena, and the branding and the world that he's been able to build around himself.
radio
I fell in love with radio once I started working there, and I never stopped.
integrity news actors
I plan on having the credibility and integrity of being a part of an entertainment news program like 'E!,' in addition to being on the actor side as well.
baby mean people
Oh yeah people recognize me, but the craziest thing? I mean I've had the normal autographs... but I had to sign a baby's carriage once. I thought that was weird, so yeah, I guess that's the craziest thing.
loyalty determination careers
Being part of a fraternity has given me the foundation for everything I do in my career from the loyalty to the determination; it laid the foundation for everything Ive been able to enjoy. Im heavily involved with Omega Psi Phi.
thinking space acting
In the acting world, you can really only become good by practicing and doing it, and I just think every time you walk onto a set you just become better and better. I think I'm in a totally different space than I was back then on that first movie set.
heart mean commitment
It is a privilege to be recognized by FDLA. I am a staunch believer that as a member of the Bar, we have the great privilege to represent clients in all facets of our practice, and that includes making the commitment to represent clients for whom access to representation and ultimately justice is limited by economics. As all of the “20 for 20 honorees have done, stepping up to meet that commitment is at the heart of what it means to be a lawyer. I hope the inspiring stories and contributions of my fellow honorees will shine a bright light on FDLA and this most important mission.
