FIRST NATIONAL TV ROLE!

I finally booked my first national tv role!!!! I am still wrapping my head around it because I didn’t see it coming. When I got the call to audition for Chicago fire I didn’t think twice about it because I auditioned for the show several times before and didn’t book it. So I went into the audition room very nonchalant. I told myself “if I get it I get it if I don’t then I don’t” which is rare because my brain invests so much into every audition I go into. The next morning, I received a text from my agent saying I’ve been put on check avail. I spoke out loud that the role was mine. Then several weeks went by of me not hearing from my agent about the role.

            Finally, I got the call from my agent that I had been given the part. Then I was whisked away to a wardrobe fitting and off to set. The fear of not being good enough finally found its way to me. I thought “What if I mess this up?” “What if they find out I’m not the person they really want?” I had to take a step back and talk to god about it. I had to re-learn that everything happens for a reason and that this is my season for receiving my prayers and manifestations. Once I allowed myself to be present in the moment and know that I am worthy of the opportunity, I had the best time on set. The director and my scene partners were amazing. I truly feel blessed that this was my first role. I know this is the beginning of so much more that is coming my way!
