So I performed a piece written by Crystal Shaniece Roman of Shaniece Entertainment last night at Monolodge. At the end, a gentleman pulled me to the side and thanked me for helping him to begin his healing process as he began to share with me his experience with child molestation (which my piece is about) I thank God for allowing me to see two things:
1. That my hard work will not go in vain
2. That He can & will use my passion for acting to help change people's lives
For this, I will never again feel the need to explain why I work the way I do and I will never give up. As actors/artists sometimes we can forget that it's bigger than us. Art has a way of crossing over any race, language, and all other barriers. I'm all about not doing unpaid projects, but once in a while we should step back and see that somethings you can't put a price on. And changing someone's life is definitely on that list. See you on the red carpet :)
God is good. I love this post. Just like your monologue encouraged that that man this post has encouraged me! Keep up the good work.
