I prefer theater and film. I did a little television, and obviously I'm not knocking it. It can be great, and it does pay the bills. But it's a little bit more disjointed.

I grew up in the theater with my mom and that's how I knew I wanted to be an actor in the first place.

My thing is that if you don't really connect to something or see that it's going to be something you're going to be proud of, I wouldn't do it.

I realized that once I graduated from college, there might be a period of time where people might typecast me or be more limiting, and I might not be able to play a crazy character. For me, it was important to do that at least in school.

Im a songwriter and Id love to make that a part of my career.

The reason why I like theater is because it's a long journey, and no matter what role you play, we are all in it together.

Personally, especially as a young black woman, I didn't think that Los Angeles was a place for me to start. There's a certain type that they go for or don't.
