🤩My father used ⏩ to this extra/background moment and call me from Cali, “just to see my baby onscreen.” I was humbled, he was proud of my beginnings in Chicago. Cause “Save the Last Dance” was my 1st studio film audition. Ever. I read for the casting director several times and still didn’t get it. I was green. Even shared my audition info with a girl I used to know, she booked it. I didn’t. But I was determined to be in it. Determined. determined. That’s me. Resolute. Purposeful. Intent. I get it from my ancestors. My people got me. And every ☝🏾 is immensely proud. Especially my dad 😇. 🙏🏾 #startedfromthebacknowilead #hebrews11 #thefaithchapter
