I Would Like To Believe That Most

The Good News For Me Is That I Have An Amazing Team Behind Me, And They've Been With Me For 20 Years Now - Almost 20 Years. And They Have Seen Me As An Actress, Not Necessarily Just A Black Actress. So I Have Been Lucky Enough For Them To See Me That Way.

Divorce Is The Hardest Obstacle I've Had To Overcome In My Life. I Would Like To Believe That Most People Don't Get Married Anticipating Divorce. When I Reached That Crossroad, I Felt Like Such A Failure. After Years Of Therapy Together, I Realized That Staying Together Was Emotionally Destructive. My Husband Didn't Want The Divorce, But I Did. So There Was A Lot Of Bitterness Initially. Although We Are Still Divorced, We Still Call Each Other "family." It Was A Journey To Get There, But It's A Beautiful Place To Be.

It's An Honest Place To Be If You Don't Understand Someone Else's Experience, But There's No Way For The Other To Understand If A Conversation Or An Explanation Isn't Made.

I Try To Turn Most Things Into An Exercise. Sometimes, I Can't Get A Workout In, So I Will Do Things Like Park Further Away At The Grocery Store Or Take The Stairs. It May Not Be Much, But I've Convinced Myself It Does Something. Mind Over Matter. Ha! But My Regular Workouts Consist Of Hiking, Cardio Barre, And Light Weight Training.

My Biggest Challenge Will Be To Play The Totally Submissive Woman. It Takes A Toll On You When You Play Someone Who's Far Removed From Your Personality.
