"southland" Was Not Written For A Black

I Love My City And I Feel Like The Majority Of The People That Are In The City Are People From Other Cities. So I Think That L.a. Sometimes Might Get A Bad Rap Because It's Known To Be So Hollywood-oriented And Then Underneath That You Have Crime. But That's Really The Case In Pretty Much Any Major City That You Go To.

I Had Been Going On Auditions And Things Like That Since I Was Probably 10 - 11 Years Old.

I Would Like To Believe That Most People Don't Get Married Anticipating Divorce. When I Reached That Crossroad, I Felt Like Such A Failure. After Years Of Therapy Together, I Realized That Staying Together Was Emotionally Destructive.

My Husband Didn't Want The Divorce, But I Did. So There Was A Lot Of Bitterness Initially. Once We Got To The Space Where We Understood That We Have The Most Important Thing In The World In Common; No One Else Shared That Commonality. Our Son Is Priceless, And In Order To Give Him The Best, We Have To Be Better To Each Other. Although We Are Still Divorced, We Still Call Each Other "family." It Was A Journey To Get There, But It's A Beautiful Place To Be.

And Once I Was In College, About - Maybe The End Of My First Semester Of My Sophomore Year, I Realized That College Just Was Not My Jam And That I Felt Like I Was Learning More When Is Actually On Set. And I Think A Lot Of That Had To Do With - I Was Working While I Was In College. I Was On "227," So I Didn't Get A Chance To Really Be Immersed In The Culture Of My School.
