Quotes Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths. Professionally, I’m preparing to film a new television series in London, another movie I’m in is being released this fall, I was invited by Oprah to host a television special, I’m writing and producing new shows, I was offered a book deal, and the list goes on! And honestly, the sweetest thing for me is the extra time I have to be home with my husband and little girls, whom I absolutely adore. When you exercise your “courage” to believe BEYOND what you can see, I believe it unlocks the door for God to manifest what you’ve never “seen”! When I was fresh out of college, I created a personal mission statement with God. In fact, that’s how my now-husband Kelvin and I first became close friends – he would lead purpose sessions with me in our Brooklyn neighborhood after church! So my purpose statement is what guides my decision-making every day. I used to think that my acting roles themselves were supposed to minister to people. But I’ve been in the entertainment industry long enough now to see that God ministers in MANY different ways. Sometimes it’s through the role and the project, and sometimes it’s with the other actors, directors, and crew behind the scenes. Many times it’s with the fans, and through interviews, speaking engagements, and social media. There’s always a way to use both your career and personal life to make an impact. My biggest strength is being a people person. I genuinely love people and am interested in all kinds of people and their stories. This natural gift has helped me tremendously as far as building relationships and friendships, as I have a very wide personal and professional network. My genuine curiosity about people has helped me as an actress too, as I’m constantly researching and creating characters that are from different walks of life, different countries and regions, time periods and cultures, and of varying socio-economic status. The last time I laughed so hard it hurt was singing and dancing with my 3-year-old, Victoria Rose. She’s such a little performer, and she’s constantly cracking me up with her hilarious dance moves! We have a ton of fun together! Wow, great question! If this weremy last year on earth, I would definitely pour everything into my children and try to show them just how much I love them and impart the things I want them to learn. I’d create a journal for them, documenting our beautiful times together, and all the memories we’ve created so far. I would have lots of fun with my husband and endeavor to serve him more. And,I would try to write all of the books that have been brimming inside of me for so long, so I could pour out all the wisdom and life lessons that God has given me to share.
