Egypt: It’s amazing how life can bring you full circle! When I was a teenager, my dream was to be an actress…actually an actrezzzzzz (super fabulous actress). I attended NYU’s Tisch School of Theater for a little over a year before my scholarship was yanked away – along with my big dreams of making it on Broadway.

(I always say that everything in life happens for a reason!)

Ultimately I wound up graduating from Temple University with a degree in broadcast journalism and a thirst for radio & television hosting.

After building a very successful radio career, I still felt a longing for theatrical arts. Four years ago I worked up the gumption to JUST GO FOR IT! So I enrolled in classes to brush up on my technique before I began the auditioning circuit.

Fast forward four years and here I am!

Today is the release of “Life Love Soul” by director Noel Calloway and I play the role of Carrie Turner, auntie to the lead character Roosevelt, who is played by a fresh new face Robbie Tate- Brickle. Words can’t begin to express how humbled yet excited I was to be a part of this amazing film with such a talented cast and crew.

The film also stars Terri Vaughn (“The Steve Harvey show), Jamie Hector & Chad Coleman (“The Wire”), Tami Roman (“Basketball Wives”) and a host of others.

Yesterday we were all featured on BET’s 106th & Park! Shouts to Rocsi & Pooch Hall for holding it down while Terrence J was away on promotion for his movie.

Check out the flicks both backstage and on set:

BTW – The answer is YES, Yandy Smith is six months pregnant and she’s over the moon about it! She’s also one of the producers of “Life Love Soul.”

Here’s the video our appearance:
