ZEYI

Today, marks another year around the sun… and I don’t take a moment of it for granted.

Thinking of last week, when I had the honor of hosting the Harlem YMCA Achievers Gala , standing at that podium, in a room filled with excellence, celebrating the next generation of leaders.

I was reminded of purpose and the many people who continue to encourage and support me along this journey. I’m thankful for many things…the ability to serve, to pour into others, and to represent something bigger than myself.

Thank you to the YMCA for the trust and the opportunity to be part of such an impactful night. Thank you to everyone I get to exchange hugs, daps, laughs, messages and love with.

And above all, Thank You Lord. None of this happens without Him

Grateful for another year. Grateful for the journey.

FEATURE FILM BOOKED. 🙏🏾🎬

Honestly speaking - when I sent this tape in, I didn’t think it was a home run. Deep down I didn’t feel confident that I had delivered a winning audition. My mind started to create all kinds of sabotaging thoughts:

“What am I doing?”
“Am I talented?”
“That facial expression was weird, casting won’t like that”

…then I hit the “submit” button

Truly grateful for this opportunity and excited for what’s ahead. Big love to my brothers and for holding it down and helping bring the audition to life — and major thanks to for jumping in and making the tape happen 🎥

From audition tape to acceptance email

None of this happens alone. Look what The Lord has done.

This is the most New York thing I’ve ever seen!
