The brick walls are there for a reason. The brick walls are not there to keep us out. The brick walls are there to give us a chance to show how badly we want something.

Storyteller. Actress. Human.
From the very beginning, even before I entered this world, my grandma would read me enchanting stories, planting the seeds of imagination within me. As I grew older, she would invite me to join her in front of the television, where we would immerse ourselves in the captivating narratives of Turner Classic Movies. I marveled at how these tiny figures, confined within the confines of the screen, could weave tales that resonated with every human being. One day, while engrossed in the timeless classic, "It's A Wonderful Life," I turned to my granny and declared, "Granny, I want to do that too." Curious, she asked me, "What exactly is 'that'?" I aspired to be one of those gifted individuals who could mesmerize the world with their storytelling. Her smile of encouragement became the catalyst that propelled me towards my dreams, ultimately leading me to cross paths with the remarkable Morgan Freeman and embark on a journey as an actress on her cherished shows, including the beloved "Queen Sugar," "New Amsterdam," and many more. It seemed only natural that my ambitions would encompass every facet of this art form, which brings us here today, together in this moment. I am immensely grateful that you have taken a fleeting moment to step into my little world, and I warmly thank you for it.
