Quotes It really does sound far away, but it’s basically tomorrow. It feels so good. This is the second part of season two, and where we left off in part one was such a cliffhanger. The supporters and people who watch the show are so excited, and I’m excited too. At this point, I’ve honestly forgotten some of what happens, so I’m also curious to see how things end. I can’t wait to watch it and see how everyone reacts because that’s my favorite part. It’s overwhelming gratitude. I’ve been acting for a while, and you never really know how a project will be received. That’s something I can’t control, and it’s not what I focus on when I take on a role. So it’s always a treat to be part of a project that really resonates with people and has supporters who are so invested in the characters. There’s so much content out there now, so the fact that people choose to watch our show makes me really happy. I’m very grateful. Music is a big part of my process. I make playlists for every character I play—Kimmie has her own playlist that helps me get into the world.

I can’t bring that energy home to my husband and my goldendoodle—they want to play. I have to come back to myself. I’m a graduate of Clark Atlanta University, an HBCU in Atlanta. Going there really shaped how I view community. Being surrounded by Black excellence and pride is such a powerful experience. It teaches you that things often mean more than how they appear on the surface—how you carry yourself, how you uplift others and how you give back when you have a voice and a platform.

In season one, Kimmie’s world was the strip club and a rundown motel. By season two, she’s moving into offices and mansions, and her wardrobe shifts to suits and heels, which really helped me step into her new life. We’re given all 16 episodes up front, so I kind of approach the script like a play. As soon as we step on set, it's go time Some of the best training an actor can get comes from real-world experiences. Seeing how people navigate challenges, joy, and everything in between — that’s what I bring to my characters I would communicate directly with the young person and their foster parent, and be another guide to their home reunification or finding their forever home.
