I would be nowhere close to where I am today in my career if it weren’t for these 3 women:

Robin Quivers, Whitney Houston & Beyoncé.

They all gave me my first:

Robin told me to put my computer skills to the creative test and launch a casting database.

Whitney let me us that database to cast the It’s Not Right but It’s Okay music video and my entry into MTV.

Beyoncé was the first lead role I auditioned when I was at MTV/MTV Films in the 90s/Y2k and she did us all very very proud 👑🐝

I understand the creative challenges of making your mark (yes that’s a photo of me, Pierce Brosnan, and Rene Russo on the set of The Thomas Crown Affair in 1998)…

Throughout my career, I’ve gone on to collaborate with exceptionally creative individuals, witnessing firsthand the dedication it takes to stand out in the film industry. It’s tough, and only possible when someone believes in you.

[ Y’all know I’m committed to uplifting fellow creatives by providing opportunities that showcase diverse talents, which is why I’m so excited to share this unique opportunity to be featured in the Oscars 2025!! ]

A good reminder that sometimes you need a break from the bigger plan to do what you need to do.

FACT: I am a terrible liar and horrible at hiding my emotions.

👉 Who would have guessed that some of my biggest faults would actually turn out to be my two greatest strengths!?

Sure am glad I don’t let opportunities take my character into rooms it should not be in. 🙌
