Tasha Smith Talks Her Journey From Homelessness To Hollywood In Essence

Actress Tasha Smith opens up in the December issue of Essence magazine about her long journey to stardom and how Tyler Perry and God played a role. Check out an excerpt below:

“All those years ago, I was a girl with this dream, but with no education, no confidence, no self-esteem, nothing. And now God has brought me to this place of destiny, and He’s not even done with me yet…”

I like Tasha’s holiday inspired cover. Tasha will star with her ‘Why Did I Get Married’ co-star Michael Jai White in a ‘For Better or Worse’ on TBS. Of course Tyler Perry is at the helm of the new sitcom. Check out a trailer below:
