Day 79a: Keeping Strong Even When Opportunities Pass

I typically dont do two post a day. But I had to post about something. I go to Southern Casting to look up castings and just a few mins ago I saw a post for a film that I auditioned for. It felt so weird and slightly odd to know I worked very hard to be in the project; and then I saw that the company was still casting for the film.


But then I had to immediately snap the hell out of it. Maybe I did not look old enough for the role. Maybe I was not "black" enough. Or too " black". My list of Maybe's could be soooooo long. But you know what--the part was just not for me.

Instantly, after this happened to me I thought of all of the actresses in LA and across the globe that go after their dreams. Just imagine the rejections that these women go through just to see the girl that got the role go on with their life. Today made me realize that I must have thick skin for acting and you know what--for the first time in my life at 32. I am finally ready to go all the way.

Every role I audition for was not created for me. I must always enjoy the journey and always just put my best forward!!!!
