CM: convey that message

DM: We all know the importance of mentors and people whose greatness

inspires us. Who were your great motivators?

CM:I've had great mentors over the years, my mother and grandmother were great mentors and parents to me at just building character as a human being and I try to apply those beliefs everyday. For comedy I would say Lawrence Owens is the best form of a mentor I've had by just learning from his actions and his foundation as a comedian. For acting Kevin Jiggetts is the best mentor I've had, he has really impacted my views on acting dramatically as far as understanding in depth what an actors responsibilities really are.

DM: Wow you have taught me so much thank you so much for supporting us at Dominext.You have so many wonderful things on your plate! What’s next for you?

CM: No problem Thanks to you. Well let me see. I have so many adventures coming up that this is gonna be a great period of time for me, far as traveling writing and just getting better everyday. So people should be prepared for the "Beast to be Unleashed" because I'm all in!!
