Set in New York City, Salt-N-Pepa pays tribute to the iconic 80s duo that fell into the world of rap and hip hop after appearing on a friend's school project.
Well, the process was like any other audition process I’ve experienced. You get an email from your reps letting you know you’ve been requested to audition and you dive right into the matter. Getting into character for Cheryl consisted of not only getting to know the material provided for the audition, but doing my own independent research on her and her career.
My favorite part about having a role on All-American was just simply being on the show. It’s a really great show that I fell in love with over the quarantine period, so it was a blessing to work with the cast and the CW network. I related to Jewel in the aspect of being slightly misunderstood, but actually being a sweetheart in the end.
When he was alive, my grandfather actually didn’t have much input in my career. I was a child at the time and everyone just wanted me to have fun with it. Now as an adult, I just try to make the best decisions within my career that I know he would be proud of.
It was an honor to me nominated. I was really excited, every actor dreams of being nominated and acknowledged for their work. I was just surprised my first came so soon in my career!
Jameson is VERY different from my other roles in the past simply because she’s a villain.
If it’s a GOOD day I get up around 7-7:30am and eat a little breakfast before going to the gym. My workouts usually last about two hours. I get that done, get back to the house, have my protein shake and lunch, and dive into what assignments or obligations I have for the day be it auditions, interviews or just everyday adulting. I’m typically in bed by 11pm every night.
RUN! Lol, just kidding. I would say go for it full force and don’t let anyone tell you what you can’t do. Stay grounded always and never compromise yourself for where you “think” you want to be.
