Oh Rhya, How I enjoyed bringing you to life 🫶🏾
Roles that challenge who i am as an actress, always make me especially happy. Being trusted to bring a vision full circle is never lost on me, thank you @samaria.falone for trusting me with your vision!

And ima be real… 3:00 AM Shoots really separate the big dogs from the pups, and I’m a big dawg if i do say so myself 😂

Last month, I took a bold step outside my comfort zone and fulfilled a long-held dream of being on camera, landing my first role in a film 🎥

It was a journey I’d always envisioned, but I’d let shyness hold me back—until now..

I’m grateful for the opportunity and the incredible connections made..

Since then, new doors have already begun to open, and I’m energized by the path ahead..

This is just the beginning🤞🏾

Special thanks to everyone who made this moment possible you have no idea how much this means to me…
