A lil 205 bts. It’s 14 seconds but there’s so much tangled beneath it all. The quiet respect and reverence so lovingly gifted me by cast and crew. The slow, diligent focus taught to me by the incomparable @the_acting_guru . When I first started acting I used to put so much pressure on my “ability to cry on cue”. I read somewhere Hayden Panettiere could do it and it sent me into a spiral. That was the telltale sign of a “good actor” in my mind for a while. Now, I see it as a beautiful piece of the puzzle. Like a laugh or a smile that crawls across your face when a baby coos. Something to practice but never rely on. Something to welcome and not to force. I’ll keep a cry stick just in case director needs it and body doesn’t. But, and maybe it’s the pleasure of knowing Faran so long now, anytime Faran’s needed a tear, I’ve been able to give her one. An offering for all the Black girls compelled to be strong in a society that forces that ponderous weight on them. I wept for Faran this day. I wept for myself. And here, in this video, I am picturing the tightrope. If you look at my lips, I whisper “ready” to the phenomenal director Alex Pillai. I know he can hear my whisper through the mic. I must focus on what Faran needs. To stay present. I am teetering, welling up, balancing on the art of holding the tear til action, and thinking everything Faran is thinking in that moment in time. Thank you to everyone who made this lil moment possible I am forever grateful to tell Faran’s story. 🥹❤️

Another episode of @prettylittleliars is live on @streamonmax 🥹❤️ the top of the episode has two of my favorite scenes I’ve ever filmed. Maia kicks ass at her test.

Please enjoy this heart warming clip @maliapyles sent of me practicing my @prettylittleliars fight choreo in between scenes with the incomparable @tracey.ruggiero 🥹❤️❤️🔥
Zaria has a name that evokes star power, warmth and wisdom beyond her years. Combined with her joie de vivre and organic drive, it makes sense that she filmed, wrote and directed her first short film two days after wrapping season 1 of Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin. 1883 Magazine catches up with Zaria to discuss the new season of Pretty Little Liars: Summer School, real-life terrors, living a happy life and her love of poetry, writing and directing.

Nothing like a sad song to celebrate @prettylittleliars during the after-after party 🫡 Can u guess what they’re singing? lol
Hard to know where to start with this post!!! I met @benngood when I was working double shifts… Somedays I went in at 6p-2a just to wake up the next morning for a 7:30a -3p. Things were BRUTAL then. All so I could make time for an audition. Or pay for my 300sq ft apt. Still, I would post my lil poems on my insta story. And one day, Benn took me for lunch and said “I think you have a future in songwriting”. (When a multi-Grammy nominated producer tells you this, you listen.) Not only did he co-produce Yeezus, The Life of Pablo, and A Motown Holiday (and much more) but if you’ve ever heard Collide by @tianamajor9 and @earthgang or if you’ve grooved to My money, My baby by @burnaboygram then you have Benn to thank. There aren’t enough thank yous in the world for friends like Benn. But, if I can say one more, thank you for being a part of so many people’s artistic journeys. The world has knowledge of only a small portion of your contribution and I’m so grateful to watch you bask in the spotlight. You deserve it. About 5 or 6 years after our first lunch, and many writing sessions for other artists later…I sang this hook as a temp vocal and Benn kept me on it. It feels like the perfect precursor to the current music project of my own that I am working on. Which has only come as a beautiful byproduct to Ben’s incessant enthusiasm and encouragement. So, it is an absolute pleasure to say… Stream White Lotus on wherever you listen to music ❤️🔥 And always post your art… You never know who’s watching ❣️ Co-directed by @laceyfree and I 🫶🏾
