Hello Friends
Hi everyone!!!
How are you guys doing? To be honest I am so tired but after I get this work done I will rest (lies, lies, lies, lol). Things have been fairly busy around here. Nothing super spectacular but a little bit of traveling + work + obstacles here and there. Life is lovely though so I CANNOT complain. GOD is AMAZING to me and that is all I have to say!!
As you know Fashion Week wrapped up and I was so worn out from being there everyday. My last night there I got called at about 9PM to do some background work on the new ABC show Cashmere Mafia with Lucy Liu that debuts in the fall. So even though I was tired I of course accepted the work for the next day. It is very rare that I turn down work unless my pockets are already super fluffy : )
Debut Nov.27 & Dec.4th @ 9PM on ABC. (Episodes 101 & 102)Working on Cashmere Mafia has been a great experience I really like working with the actors, the crew and watching professionals do their thing. While I continue to learn and grow in my career at this stage it is great to see working actors work. The different acting techniques and styles, directors, shooting styles and sets are great to learn from. Since I have began freelancing full time, 4 months, most of the sets I have worked on have been very different as far as shooting and acting style.
Speaking of being new to acting below is an article that was in Backstage Magazine East and Backstage.com talking about actors who quit their daytime jobs like me : )
I also have to give thanks to the crew at HBCUConnect.com who graciously featured the behind the scenes pictures from my Braids & Beauty Photo Shoot on the homepage of their site. That was so nice and I am very grateful. Thanks guys!!
Lastly, this weekend I will be returning to my Alma Mater, Mount Holyoke College. Mt.Holyoke is a private all-women's college in Massachusetts and as a wild child from the west coast in 2000 it was where I went and began the career that I am currently in the midst of. I will be speaking on two panels this weekend at The New England Women's Global Leadership Conference.
TTYL!

P.S. My new site is almost done and it has exclusive pix from Fashion Week and other events!!!
