Felecia Pearson was born on May 18th 1980, fighting to survive. The fact that she was premature, only 3lbs. with both of her parents incarcerated only lessened her chances; she was on her own and doctors didn’t expect her to live. Felecia was too small to nurse from a bottle, but even as an infant she showed signs of great strength. Eventually she was made a ward of the court. She was placed with a Foster Grandmother on the Eastside of Baltimore. There is no pretty story here, just the gritty truth of growing up in the system on the Baltimore streets. Having a childhood much like the youth depicted in the show Felecia saw first hand the drugs and violence that plagued Baltimore. However difficult the struggle Felecia managed to get through it. With out knowing who her family was she developed her own. She called the streets of Baltimore home and those who ran them, family. Needless to say she had a multitude of obstacles to overcome. Her pretty face shows no sign of the pitfalls life had set for her, abandonment, violence and ultimately incarceration. In September of 2000 Felecia made a choice to change her life. This decision took Felecia to heights she never dreamed of. She began by getting back into school. It is said when you strive with intention the universe will open up and guide you on your journey. One night while out on the town Michael K Williams met Felecia. Michael saw a story in Felecia that needed to be told, a “star quality” that comes through those who have it, no matter what. He arranged to have her meet with the producers of “The Wire”, David Simon, Ed Burns, Nina Noble and Robert Colesberry. Felecia remembers thinking that this was too good to be true. Soon after the producers offered Felecia a role on the show as the character “Snoop”. Felecia joined up with Marlo (Jamie Hector) to go to war against Avon (Wood Harris) and Stringa Bell (Idris Elba). Felecia’s story is proof that one can overcome the odds. Felecia now studies her craft with renewed determination at the Baltimore school of the Arts and studies under Robert Chew. Her future looks bright. She has been offered new roles and looks forward to the challenge What does Snoop have to say about “The Wire”? “The Wire” gave me my break, and I will be eternally grateful. There’s a lot of joking around on set but everybody gets real serious when it’s time to get to work. From the producers to the cast, we are a family and we look out for each other.”
