Working on “Brilliant Minds” @nbc (@city_tv in Canada) was a remarkable experience! Playing the daughter of Broadway legend @andre_deshields is a career highlight and deep honour. Getting to dance around the sun with @getenesh again to whom I’ve played both mother and auntie was a treat. Special shout out to the amazing @tamberlaperry for your beautiful post that touched my soul. I appreciate you sis and wish you @zacharyquinto and the rest of the amazing cast all the blessings on your continued success this season! I’ll forever cherish the honour it was to skip in the sandbox with you all! Special thanks to @jmdknight @alicia.jeffery and the entire production team for your trust!

New episodes of Brilliant Minds premiere on Monday nights at 10 p.m. on NBC and are available to stream the next day on Peacock.

ABOUT LAST NIGHT - one of the best live performances I’ve seen in ages - Measha is so comfortable in her skin and absolutely wild with humour and talent - Still soaking in the vocal blessing that is @measha.brueggergosman.lee and music by her amazing composer friend Aaron Davis! One of the most talented opera singers I’ve witnessed to date and certainly the most hilarious!!!

AI could NEVER auto generate live music and the brilliance of true musicianship! Thank you for the HANG @momma_abz @katandjoco and for my hugs and sweet gift bag @primaliving.ca - What a great night of community friendship and family!

❤️APPRECIATION POST!!! ❤️

From the behind the lens project that initially brought us together five years ago, to our chats and hugs ever since, not to mention the sheer and absolute happiness I have in my bones for Ashley’s CSA cinematography nominations and win ever since, I’ve always been a bit of an auntie to @ashleyirisgill but nothing stole my heart more than finally getting to work on set together after all these years! Chopping it up in front of the camera, knowing Ashley was behind the lens finessing the light to capture all the drama, was beyond magic for the soul!

My amazing Ashley; As you head off to slay dragons on what is hands down one of, if not the hottest series on television not to mention the planet, I shower you with all the love for a rewarding Season 2! You deserve it all! Have the best time over these next few months! The production team is lucky to have you!

❤️Your cheerleader always, Lanette❤️

A special shout out to our amazing director / producer @shanelesoares for the incredible role and trust. What an honour and ride!!! Thank you Shanele!

Much love to our fabulous female producer dream team who ran the show like the bosses they are @alicia.d4p @caroln92 and our on pointe 1st AD: @ad.diladokuzoglu
Bravo team! You all killed that sheesh!

🇨🇦❤️ Canada Day Mojo! 🇨🇦❤️

🎶 Today, art curator, gallery owner and artist Rosa Calabrese-Teal @royal.rose.gallery and I had the indelible honour and pleasure of teaming up with the incomparable Juno Award nominee Glenn Marais @glennmaraismusic for a life altering songwriting experience and guess what? We wrote a song! Crafted and finalized our original anthem for an @awwbproduction A WWB Production of @silverstars.2026 which turned into a call of the times and our hearts have been doing backflips and cartwheels ever since! I am literally pinching myself after rolling out of bed on this special holiday to make-a-the-magic with these two angels in my life and can’t wait for you all to hear our creation!!!!

Creating with Glenn was a soul‑inspired venture and wildly profound way to kick off Canada Day, 2026! Tonight’s fireworks ain’t got nuttin’ on what we created this morning! Let’s gooooo!

The joy is meant to be shared, so soon beautiful people, soon!

The song is a breathing example of what happens when art meets passion meets friendship and purpose: a natural birthing and unfolding of an anthem for the times is born! And trust us… you’ll be humming along soon!!!

Stay tuned! The world’s about to be gifted something truly special from Glenn and Hillary Marais’ @hillarymarais brilliant acoustic guitar and vocal talents straight to your hearts!!!! 🎶
