Nafessa Williams Instagram – Left Pic: I was at my heaviest filming the Whitney Movie. Right Pic: I lost the 25lbs for my new show RIVALS I wanted to gain weight for @wannadancemovie so I could look less like myself. I wanted to add something different to the character I’d never done before. My goal is to always switch it up with every role I play. I never want to keep playing the same kind of characters. She’s a chameleon! lol. My character on my new show called for a different vibe so I lost the weight. Here’s a little before and after of that journey. My New Show RIVALS is coming soon! @wannadancemovie Now Playing on @netflix Your FEARS and Egos Aren’t Real! #yfear #fitnessmotivation #fitness
