Everyone is human, and everyone makes mistakes.

My Auntie CeCe - I can kind of joke and say all I need to do is pray. But that's literally what she does... She lives what she sings. I've learned a lot about her in that way, so in bringing her to the stage, I knew what sort of demeanor she needed to have. Her songs are very reflective of who she is in real life.

To be able to be onstage and to hear people in the audience go, 'That's my song!' It's amazing.

I didn't have drama in high school. So when I graduated high school and started at Wayne State in Detroit, I told my parents I was going to major in theater. And they were like, 'OK. Why? You've never done it.' But, it was just what I wanted, and they came to see my very first show and, from then, completely supported me.

I got my B.F.A. at Wayne State. Moved to L.A. and got my M.F.A. from Cal Arts in acting and just worked hard.

When you're in a church, and you're singing about the presence of the Lord, it is so hard not to get overjoyed because I know Him.

I think I'm constantly resorting to making sure to keep God's perspective in my mind.

I sang in the choir growing up and more recently served on the worship team at my church in California.

My first job out of CalArts was performing monologues at the Women of Faith conferences across the country.

I enjoy working. And, I really enjoy the fact that I get to do what I love and call it work.

I often joke with my husband and say to him, 'You know I have two theatre degrees, right? That's all I know how to do.' LOL! He went to Pepperdine Law School, has four degrees, and passed the California Bar first time around, so I always make sure he doesn't expect too much from me.

We're a really close family, and that was what my grandparents promoted.

I have 18 or 19 first cousins, and we're all very close.

I love my family's music because I love it. It's good. I listen to the Winans all the time. I listen to BeBe and CeCe. I listen to Angie and Debbie. I listen to Uncle Daniel. I listen to Phase 2, my two brothers and my two cousins. I think they're incredible.

I was at a point where I couldn't find an agent or a manager, and I said, 'Okay, Lord. If this is what you have for me, I need you to work that. I need you to open doors.' I was at that point of truly surrendering whatever my will was, and, 'Lord, if this is what You want, You do it.' And, He did it.

'Greenleaf' is nothing like 'Empire.' I think 'Empire' stands alone in what they are doing. It's a wonderful show. The only thing that is similar though is that they are black families - the shows in it of themselves have very different dynamics.

I always loved acting, and that's what I wanted to do. It's funny that my first big role is a role where I'm going into a studio to record my singing.

I love the Lord. I did grow up in a gospel family.

Greenleaf' is about family, but also about faith and failure and real human life.

I remember telling the Lord - I was about seventeen or eighteen - I'm like, 'Lord, I'm never gonna sing. You know that's my family's thing; that not what I do.'

Being from a family in church and being a Christian myself, I pray daily.

I was at a point of asking God whether acting was what He really wanted me to do. Oprah Winfrey came to one of my workshops, and a couple of months later, she reached out to Uncle BeBe, who co-wrote 'Born For This.' Oprah told him she was interested in me for the role of Charity on 'Greenleaf' and asked him to help her contact me.

I just entered the wonderful world of 40s, so anything anti-aging, I'm jumping on.
