I owe an enormous and heartfelt thank you to so many casting directors. The best casting directors out there care so deeply, and set us up to do the best work we can, whether we get the job or not. When I first entered this industry roles for South Asians were few and far between, and my “look” was one people didn’t quite know what to do with. I have so many stories, but I’ll never forget, it was because of a casting director who believed in me, and pushed hard for me, I booked a romantic guest lead in an episode. And let me tell you, that was innovative then. If I had a nickel for every time I heard I wasn’t attractive enough 🙄, I could have retired by now. Ok maybe not. 😂 (And make no mistake, I feel great about myself.) But my point is, that casting director shifted the way people saw me enough for me to get that love-interest role. And that CD continued to champion me, brought me in multiple times, and cared about every actor they brought in. Our fellow casting directors are headed into negotiations next week to fight for fair pay and fair contracts. Casting directors play an enormous part in finding actors, creating opportunities for talented people who might not have otherwise been considered, helping actors do their best work, and building a world of characters we so often love, hate or love to hate. I support casting directors wholeheartedly and am eternally thankful for so many of you, who have often guided me to the best work I could give. May these negotiations bring you the equitable pay and contracts you so deserve. #CastingCall #StandwithCasting #CastingbyTeamsters

For the past oh so many years, strength has been my weakness. I’d tried strength training in the past- solo, in classes, with trainers, and every time, within a few attempts an old neck/back injury would flare up and I’d be out of commission for weeks. So I just gave up completely. But I also know how invaluable strength training is. Luckily for us, our wonderful friend @richcerauloko is not only a brilliant actor, but he’s also a brilliant trainer. Great actors are often so in tune with their bodies, so it makes sense he’d train with such intuition and awareness. I can’t reiterate enough how much fun and satisfying this process has been. I honestly look forward to these sessions. I can’t wait to keep getting stronger with @richcerauloko. I realize someone will cast him soon and he won’t be available, but until then, I’m thoroughly enjoying getting stronger for the first time in a long time. And of course Otis loves him too. 💪🏾🐶💜
Puttin’ it on the main.
Me and my clumsy thumbs accidentally deleted our ten year anniversary post. So here are a few more pics from our beautiful celebration trip and a couple other happy shots tossed in. Ten years married, 11.5 years together, lots of time feeling lucky as hell. Thank you @jonjonblue for making the bad times better and the good times the best. And thank you for trying to get me to go to bed even though you know I’ll just stay up putzing until I fall asleep on the sofa and then eventually crawl into bed and wonder why my neck hurts in the morning.

Much-needed joy. Rest. Reconnection. Regrouping. 💕 If you know me you know, I’m not great at going outside. Outside is not my strong suit. But here’s the thing. Life happens and we either change with it or we fight it. Sometimes both. This year taught me I better practice rest and joy fr fr. Rest and joy aren’t happening without me. Life will. And it also reminded me to get my ass outside. Turns out it’s everything you all said and more. ✨💫✨
