Born and raised in Toronto, Ontario 

I desperately wanted to see girls and women  who looked like me on television! But as the years went by I noticed plus size, Black representation on cable tv was almost non existent! Constantly being told "You look like Queen Latifah" (a compliment) but also a backhanded one 'cause in reality we look nothing alike; she was simply THE ONLY REPRESENTATION at the time. Now I am determined to make a career on film, TV, and stage to represent all the little girls who just simply want to be seen.
