About Me

Hey! Within this marvelous illusion, thus far has been my experience. Name's Elle, a sixth generation Canadian. My mother is of African Canadian and Native American Indian descent and my father is of Jamaican heritage. Born an only child in Toronto, I was raised by my great grandmother and great aunt. One of the greatest things in my life was being raised by two amazing women three generations my senior. I’m deeper, wiser, more compassionate and more open-minded because of it. In high school I choreographed for my dance group, the ‘Hot Ice Dancers’ and found my greatest love was performing in front of audiences. I then partook in three beauty pageants finishing third runner up, first runner up and finally winning the title of Miss Black Canada. In recent years I've been developing my acting skills, studying with some of Canada’s elite. My career successes include appearances in TV series’ such as Kojak (Ving Rhames), Monk (Tony Shaloub) and MISSING (Vivica A. Fox), as well as the feature film Godsend starring Mr. DeNiro. My most recent projects include the feature film Talk to Me (2007) as Don Cheadle’s mistress in a intimate scene, as the MC in the Disney movie 'Jump In'. Oh yeah, I also guest star in the ground-breaking TV series Da Kink in My Hair. Check out the pics! (smiles) ~~~ON THE PERSONAL, I love people and often chat with strangers. Truth. Now it may not always seem like that when I'm on the road during rush hour but...I do. ;-D I'm going to race cars someday soon. I love driving stick in hot German cars. Sit back and hold on. You'll enjoy the ride , I promise! Yes, I'm really as calm, cool and collected as it seems. Nothing really surprises me and I do my best not to judge, that's why it's easy for you to share your problems. What's bothering you? How can I help? Just don't get upset if I don't call you much. Yeah, it may be months before you see me again, but know that I'll be there when you need me. It's nothing personal, it's just how I roll!! ~~~ON THE NEGATIVE, I don't absorb my B12 and they don't know why, my iron's low, my schedule's JACK and I'm miserable when I'm tired. But life's still...alllllrite!!(wink)~~Holla!~~LOOK ME UP ON IMDB.COM! XO
