  • New Year, New Projects

    I got new pictures in January; they are very cute. I’m not going to say that I don’t look like this normally because, here I am, this is me. I do look a little older on film and in person, usually, but still, not bad for a “weathered” actress. Unretouched: It’s March and I am…

  • My experience being a “Celebrity VIP” for the Pacific Northwest Multicultural Readers Series and Film Festival

    I spent these last couple of days in Portland, Oregon participating in PassinArts Theatre’s second biannual film festival, #PNMC Festival. It’s been an extraordinary experience. I met Bobby Yan, a director, who was straightforward and a very nice guy. I met a Canadian theatre artist, Alicia Payne, who was super interesting and kind. I had…

  • #FBF 11 years ago

    I appeared on East New York again! This is the 3rd time on this show. I hope I get to be on it some more! I always am in scenes with Jimmy Smits because I play his mother. I love this gig. I fly to NY and do a day or two on a top…

  • Working in 2023 and a throwback …

  • New Year, New Things

    Well I don’t know what happened but we’ll pretend this is the new entry on 2/25/23. (I run my own website haha!) Two months down. More new pictures. Friday a Cobra Kai Kid interview was released– it was an epic interview imho and I hope Drew liked it too. I had a sick resting day…

  • #REWIND2022 raffle week

    This fundraising campaign is conducting a raffle this week. Prize is a high concept art poster of the movie. Together with this prize we are offering a signed Yaya photograph OR an acting coaching session with lovely and extremely talented actress Dani Deette. The prizes are not convincing enough I guess. Did I mention the…
