Jet Setter




THOSE WHO ARE PRIVY...

I can't wait until the day that I become an official jet setter. Not the type that just flies around to make social appearances, but a jet setter with a purpose! This past week I have rode from NYC to Baltimore to chill with my sis. I flew from Baltimore to Detroit then on the road to my hometown Kalamazoo, MI. I had a great time with the family for a few days, and then I was back on the road to Detroit to fly into Baltimore to chill for a day. Now I'm on the road back to NYC. I'm tired but it feels good to have been somewhere else to help someone out. See my grandfather lost his brother this past week and I came home to give him an ear and a helping hand. I don't really know how it feels to go through that kind of pain or any major devastation, but it felt good to be there for him regardless. I want to be privy and get the chance to travel the world to lend a helping hand. If I had the money I would be all over this amazing world spreading my love and peace. Some people that act desire money and fame in the long run to buy anything that they ever wanted, and more. I'm not saying that I'm not going to buy my some fly threads and other expensive items for myself, but I will also make it my business to be a philanthropist, and be of "Service to all Mankind" I know you feel me Sorors lol... Anyways... I washed my grandpa's clothes, cooked for him, ran errands, and sat and talked to him. I was giving my love to him, it was very natural, and I loved doing it. When I look at the commercials for Haiti I want to cry, I want to help, but more importantly I want to do so because it feels natural to me. It feels 100% organic to give the unselfish act of service, and spread love to someone other than myself or my family/friends. I will one day be among the group of people who are PRIVY to serve all over the world.

MY PLATFORM

I want to use my acting as a platform for service. I believe that if I have hundred, thousands, or millions of people looking at me as a role model or media figure... It's my duty to give back and set an example of how humanity is supposed to be and how God would want us to treat one another. I don't even want to be noticed for my actions, I want my actions to get results, and the people that I'm assisting get the help, support, and love that they need. That's it! I know right now I have to focus on my craft, but I can start out by serving my community in Harlem and eventually serving mankind throughout the world. Help is needed EVERYWHERE!

A PEACE OF LOVE

This past week I have heard about 5 different people call me a "flower child" "hippie" "gypsy"... Lol... I was told by my mom that it's because I have no organized lifestyle. I'm all over the place grinding and trying to make things happen by any means necessary. I don't mind my work ethic lol "to each is own"... I'm proud to be the FLOWER CHILD that I am lol. My momma loves me for it;) Anyways... I recently started collecting PEACE signs (jewelry, t-shirts, pictures, buttons) I don't know what happened but one day back in November of 09' I just fell in love with the peace sign lol. So now it's a PEACE of me lol. Now when I complain about my life or I'm having a bad day I reflect on my PEACE collection that I have built, and I remember all of the people that are living in a world without peace. I am counting the days that I can give A PEACE OF LOVE to those in need in a major way.

SYMPTOM CHECKER


MULTI-SYMPTOM RELIEF

Watery eyes, sore throat, coughing, stuffy nose, runny nose, headache, and minor aches and pains is what I just got over...Whew! These past two weeks have been an absolute battle with my health. Besides tackling my severe cold... I had been casted for a play in NYC, I was auditioning for some commercials, meeting with some of NYC's top agencies for better representation, and looking for a part time evening gig on the side so I can SURVIVE in the city. I was feeling soooooo weak!!! In order to get through the auditioning, meetings, rehearsals, and interviews I had to be SUPER WOMAN! I made the executive decision to tap out and take a break for my sanity!!!!!!!! I was doing too much and there was NO method to my madness. I lessened my load and established my priorities. Then I called my Mom and Nana for help because when it comes to being sick they know best, and they told me the right medicines to get for multi-symptom relief. That relief doesn't come in a pill or liquid form for life, but if I just breath, say a pray and have some NOW FAITH= (faith that you have right NOW not LATER ...like pastor said last Sunday lol)... Relief will be on the way!

SYMPTOMS OF A BAD PRODUCTION...

OK like I said, I was casted in a play that is going to show in NYC soon. The director and producer have a small independent company, and had a "great idea" for a play. I should have known that something was wrong the first day of rehearsal... The whole cast showed up late, they were eating in the rehearsal room, everybody had a different script (some were old ones, some were new revised ones) folks didn't look professional PERIOD! The director was yelling, the producer and the director were yelling at each other... It was a hot heaping mess! Still I stayed to see what everything was all about since I was the newest member of the cast, and I was interested in playing the character I was given. That very 1st rehearsal I observed, but when I came for the 2nd rehearsal I was told by the director that I would be playing a different character, only to have it changed back to the original 3 days later...WTF! Then they never allowed me to rehearse my lines, the scenes were boring, the play didn't make any sense... I could just go on and on and on! After about 2 weeks of ups and downs with the play I received an email from the director saying that he again changed some things around and I would be playing a completely different character!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was on BAKE! I couldn't believe the level of crap that they were on. OH!!! I left out the part that this was a "paying gig" but I never saw a contract to sign!!!!! Anyhow... Later that week I was out with an acting friend and I asked him "If you didn't believe in a project that you were in, and all you did was talk bad about it... What would you do?" He looked at me and said "I would get out." When I got home I took a deep breath, said a prayer, and I had some NOW FAITH! The next day I contacted the producer, expressed my concerns, and pulled out of the production on good terms. I felt great, because I stood for what I believed in. The symptoms of a bad production were cured with trusting with my gut, and being fair to everyone else including myself. If I had stayed I would have been miserable, and possibly made everyone around me miserable too.

AHHH RELIEF!!!

Good News! The month of February was dedicated to meeting some very important people in my world. I met with about 6 NYC well known agents in hopes that ALL of them would want to represent me LOL!!! This past Monday I received a call from one of the agencies...I went to meet with them at their office on Thursday, and they want to rep me... Get Excited! More good news to come... I can feel it coming!!!
