Y’all, Loretta Devine plays my TV mama! 😳

Damn. Manifesting is powerful. Be specific in your prayer y’all. Write it. Say it. Believe it.

When @tonygapastione and @bravemakerorg approached me about this show, “Nonproffiting” and asked me to be the lead I had no idea what to expect.

When Loretta Devine’s name was mentioned I said nah, there’s no way. Working with her had been on my vision board since seeing her in Waiting to Exhale. Her beauty. Her confidence. Her talent. I wanted to soak it all in.

So thank you Tony and Brave Makers for making a career dream a reality.

Honestly, I didn’t believe it until I got on set and said oh shit this is real. But when opportunity meets preparation…🤯

I can’t wait for y’all to see this special work we’ve created.
