Miss Jamaica? What She Say?I'm an actress, from NY (Long Island to be exact) who's in LA in pursuit of happiness. (Wish me luck.) I love dancing (*especially to dance hall reggae*), singing in my car, NPR, going to the theatre, working out, and laughing my ass off – at anything: movies, TV, friends, life, etc.(Seriously, check out the YouTube links on the page... HILARIOUS) I moved out here to attend USC, and I was 110lbs heavier. When I first moved out here, I was working a lot, and was off to a good start. Soon there after I decided to change my life, and my body through Divine Inspiration (and lest I forget the Diennet Program and Barry's Bootcamp ;p). I have been able to maintain the weight loss for over five years now. I am currently "acting" as an administrative assistant at an incredibly supportive insurance company(go figure... lol), while pursing my passion. (I'm writing this next section at the risk of sounding like Tyra Banks going Ape-Shit on her talk show for being called fat ;p...)For a town/ industry that is in constant flux, reinventing my body had been a detriment for a long time. I have never prescribed to the belief that one has to be 96lbs, have 2% body fat, and no menstrual cycle, to call myself an actress. I have talent, curves, and integrity (and intend on keeping all three). I look forward to a long and rewarding career NOT because I weigh less – but because I am happier, and healthier than I have ever been before... and that's that.
