The CW's "All-American" actress recently released her new book of poems, a unique and beautiful project that explores the hardships of love.
Vanessa, yes! Playing her was so special. My favorite part of working in All American was having the chance to work with such a talented and amazing cast. I learned a lot from everyone. The best moments were filming Episode 6 in the cabin. I remember one time we were playing games in a circle for hours while we waited for set. It was a great experience!
Yes, everyone has their own way, but for me, I first try to find similarities between me and the character. I find things I can connect and relate to so I can understand the character better. Sometimes it’s difficult whenever there aren’t as many similarities because it could lead to not enough passion and realness.
Oh Safe House! I am so excited for everyone to watch this film. It’s an action film with a strong, independent, but fierce young girl. Carla is a med student who gets involved in a very dangerous situation and has to fight for survival. It’s very different from what I usually play.
I am so happy to finally be able to open myself up and be vulnerable enough to let people see my heart and life experiences. This book is a compilation of poems that I’ve written throughout the years. When I am feeling sad or hurt, I turn to my notebook and write. By doing this, I can let go. I hope everyone can read it and will feel the same way. It’s a journey through heartbreak that ends up in self-love. I can’t wait for everyone to read it.
