My husband didn't want the divorce, but I did. So there was a lot of bitterness initially. Once we got to the space where we understood that we have the most important thing in the world in common; no one else shared that commonality. Our son is priceless, and in order to give him the best, we have to be better to each other. 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.

I learned a lot from my Mom. My favorite lesson: remember there is no such thing as a certain way to parent and to remember that you are learning along with your child - it's ok to make mistakes.

I think I've been lucky in the regard to have a team that sees me as an artist.

I went to public - I graduated from publics - Westchester High. I'm a product of LA Unified.

I'm just really thankful to have the chance to portray a character you don't see every day.

When you look at "American Crime" and you have the character Terri LaCroix is a pharmaceutical executive - why does that character always have to be white?

And there's also not enough films that are more of a imitation of what real life looks like.
