Quotes
I was always singing and dancing for my brothers friends when he came back home from college. One day, I wanted to sing for him and his friends, and one of them offered me $20. I knew I was going places! LOL I was always ready to perform for anyone who would listen. I was never shy so naturally, my mom noticed that and enrolled me into acting class. I landed an agent and the rest is history!
Forgetting lines when you only have one or two. Lol. I had several co-starring roles starting out so it seems like it’s so hard to remember one or two lines vs multiple pages in a script. The lesson is, study your craft and be confident in your abilities!
My family! My mother and my brother. My mother would take me to every audition and wait in the car until I came out. Or sometimes my brother would do the same thing when my mother wasn’t available. Without someone being there when you are under 18 years old, you can’t get to and from auditions or be alone on set without a guardian. So you need a good support system. They never let me down. So I owe them a debt of gratitude.
Never give up! The moment you want to give up could be the moment when you receive your biggest break/blessing. Believe in yourself and don’t stop.
"Inspirational Women In Hollywood: How Porscha Coleman Is Helping To Shake Up The Entertainment Industry", May 2, 2021
My passion for the arts started at a very young age. When I was five years old, I was in a school play. I was the lead. I sang and danced. I knew I loved being in front of the camera and in front of people. My mom and all of my aunts and uncles used to be in a very popular group overseas. I would always be at their rehearsals, watching everything going on. I was literally born into it. When my mom was pregnant with me, she was listening to music. I heard so much of that. By the time I was seven years old, my mom was like, “Let’s try an acting class.”
The most challenging has to be dancing. When I was young, everyone thought, I’m a young little Black girl, I got rhythm, I can dance. But the moment I went to a dance audition and had to learn choreography, I had two left feet. I was like, “Wait a minute. This is really hard.” By the time I was eleven years old, I was getting up every day and training ballet, jazz, modern, tap, everything you could think of.
The easiest has been music. That was always around. All of my family can sing. We were harmonizing in the car when I was a child. I was always doing it with my mom and brother. Those had to be the easiest and hardest things for me to develop. Now, for me to be around people that do the same thing, it’s so rewarding.
